A week ago, the Kansas City Chiefs’ left guard Joe Thuney injured a pectoral muscle during the team’s 27-24 Divisional Round victory against the Buffalo Bills, which advanced the team to Sunday afternoon’s AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens.
On Monday afternoon, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that an MRI of the injured muscle had revealed it to be strained rather than torn — which was positive news. Although Thuney has already been ruled out of Sunday’s game, it was considered possible that he could be available in two weeks if the team advanced to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
