Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid provided his usual injury updates following practice on Wednesday. The team seems to have escaped Week 12 without any significant injuries. Reid did have one new status update to report, as starting CB Bashaud Breeland missed practice on Wednesday.
“On the injury front, Bashaud Breeland just had the stomach virus,” Reid said. “So we sent him home there.”
Again, the Chiefs have been very cautious when describing illness given the COVID-19 situation. Reid specifically mentioning this as a stomach virus should alleviate any potential concerns about COVID-19. Taking the diligence to send him home is also important. You don’t want any illness to spread through the locker room.
Reid also provided a brief update on Dorian O’Daniel. After the Buccaneers game, he said that O’Daniel was dealing with an ankle sprain. That still seems to be the case, though, Reid didn’t comment on the type or grade of ankle sprain.
“Dorian (O’Daniel) has an ankle sprain,” Reid reiterated. “He didn’t practice today.”
Apart from those two injuries, this team appears to be very healthy heading into the final five games of the regular season.
“Everybody else practiced,” Reid said. “[They] did a nice job.”
Health will be ever-more important moving forward considering the team is still a game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC conference lead.
