Chiefs' Reid: Toney's injury `not made up'

- By Dave Skretta

Chiefs coach Andy Reid denied providing inaccurate injury informatio­n about Kadarius Toney on Monday after the wide receiver went on an expletive-laden social media rant in which he appeared to accuse the team of lying about his health.

Toney was ruled out of Sunday's AFC championsh­ip win in Baltimore because of his hip and personal reasons following

the birth of his daughter. But in an Instagram Live post, the 25-year-old Toney insisted amid a stream of expletives that, “I'm not hurt.”

“Well, obviously he's been on the injury report. That part is not made up by any means,” Reid replied, when asked about the post on a Zoom call with local reporters Monday. “He's been working through some things and he'll be back out there.”

The Chiefs return to practice Thursday. They face San Francisco in the

Super Bowl on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.

Teams and coaches can be fined by the NFL for issuing inaccurate or misleading injury reports. In December, then-Falcons coach Arthur Smith was fined $25,000 and the team $75,000 for failing to disclose that running back Bijan Robinson was dealing with an illness that had limited him in a game against Tampa Bay earlier in the season.

Toney has not played since Week 15 against New England, when he let a pass slip through his hands for an intercepti­on. He also had a dropped pass intercepte­d and returned for a touchdown in Week 1 against Detroit, and his much-publicized offside penalty in Week 14 against Buffalo wiped out a goahead touchdown reception in the closing minutes.

Reid said he had not seen Toney's social media post, but heard people discussing it. When asked whether Toney remained on the team, Reid replied: “He'll be back out there and we'll see how he does.”
