Injury Report: Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver Kadarius Toney Ruled Out for AFC Championship Game
Limited Practice for Toney, Full Participation for Others
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney was limited in practice on Friday due to an ankle injury. All other players participated fully in practice, including tight end Travis Kelce, who has been battling a back injury.
Ankle Injury to Keep Toney Sidelined
Toney's ankle injury, which he sustained in the Chiefs' Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, will prevent him from participating in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The injury is not considered long-term, but it is significant enough to rule him out of this crucial matchup.
Impact on Chiefs' Offense
Toney's absence is a blow to the Chiefs' offense, as he has emerged as a key contributor in recent weeks. The speedster has caught 21 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns in his last four games. His ability to stretch the field and create separation has been a major factor in the Chiefs' success.
Social Media Break for Toney
In addition to his physical injury, Toney has also announced that he will be taking a break from social media after receiving criticism for his performance in Thursday's loss to the Bengals. The wide receiver has been subjected to negative comments and threats on social media, which he says has affected his mental well-being.
