Willie Gay News
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (neck), who was listed as questionable for the AFC Championship game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, is officially inactive. It was reported earlier on Sunday that Gay was trending in the right direction to play against Baltimore, but the Chiefs coaching staff obviously felt he wasn't healthy enough to suit up with a trip to another Super Bowl on the line. The 25-year-old's absence is notable in the middle of KC's defense while they try to slow down likely MVP Lamar Jackson and the Ravens' potent offense. The good news is that safety Mike Edwards (concussion), who was also listed as questionable, will be available against the Ravens.
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (neck) is trending toward playing against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the AFC Championship game, according to a source. Gay couldn't finish the Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills last Sunday due to a neck injury and he was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report leading up to the AFC Championship. The 25-year-old didn't take part in the team's practice on Friday, but it looks like he'll gut it out and play through a second straight questionable tag. However, it remains to be seen how effective he'll be as the underrated Chiefs defense looks to slow down likely MVP Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense. Having Gay out there will be a boost to KC's defense in a tough matchup on the road.
Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (neck) and safety Mike Edwards (concussion) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game. Gay was limited on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out of practice on Friday. Edwards missed practice Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and put in a full practice on Friday, leaving him more likely to be available for the Chiefs defense. An underrated KC defense could be forced to give more playing time to both Leo Chanal and Cole Christiansen this weekend if Gay is ultimately ruled out on Sunday. The Chiefs defense allowed the second-fewest points per game all year, behind only the Ravens, but they have a tall task on their hands in the AFC title game against expected MVP Lamar Jackson and an improved Ravens offense.
