Chiefs coach Reid gives status on Mahomes, Butler and other injuries

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid updated the media on the injury situation following the team's 35-12 victory over the New York Jets. He said quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who sustained an elbow injury during the game, is "day to day" and in good spirits, while right tackle Jaylon Moore (ankle) and wide receiver Xavier Worthy (hamstring) are also listed as day-to-day.

"Patrick, he is really day to day right now. And I’d tell you the same thing with Xavier, Jaylon, likewise — that all three of those guys are kind of day to day. It was more positive news than negative news on Patrick. It looks like it’s just a matter of some rehab in there and getting rid of some of the soreness. And we’ll just see where it goes from there, but he’s in good spirits today. I have seen him today, so he’s in good spirits today."

Reid noted that the impact of Mahomes' injury on the upcoming practice and the team's Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons remains uncertain, adding that he will reassess the situation in a few days.

"Give me a couple of days on that. Just (until) we have to get out there and do it, and we’ll see where he’s at. He feels pretty good today. We’ll see where it goes. He’s sore, but I’m glad we’re not practicing today."

Regarding kicker Harrison Butler, whose season has featured missed long-range field goals, Reid said no decision has been made about his role or practice repetitions.

"I haven’t made any decisions yet. I’m just sitting. I’m going to evaluate everything and go forward from there. Again, I haven’t decided on reps during practice. I haven’t done any of that right now — so just going through and evaluating, and we’ll go from there."

Reid also mentioned that the Chiefs retain veteran kicker Justin Tucker on the practice squad as an additional option.
