All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, who suffered a pectoral strain during the Divisional game vs the Bills is doubtful the Superbowl. There is some optimism that Thuney could play but it would take a lot for him to get into the lineup.
Left guard Nick Allegretti who filled in exceptionally for Thuney in the AFC Championship game vs Ravens will get the start again if Thuney does indeed miss. The Chiefs will once again need another big game from Allegretti to keep Mahomes upright against that formidable 49ers pass rush.
Joe Thuney and Kadarius Toney have ruled out, however, Isiah Pacheco will play in the AFC Championship game when the Chiefs face the Ravens on Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out Kadarius Toney and All-Pro guard Joe Thuney when they face the Ravens in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. Thuney, who helped lead this offensive line to being one of the best in the league will be missed on Sunday. Nick Allegretti gets the start in Thuney’s place.
Isiah Pacheco, who missed the whole week of practice, as expected will play. Pacheco was dominant in the Divisional Round against the Bills, averaging 6.5 yards per carry which led to 97 yards and touchdown on the ground. Look for the Chiefs to lean heavily on Pacheco and the run game once again, if they plan to keep Lamar Jackson and the high flying Ravens offense off the field.
