    Chiefs' Andy Reid Gives Wanya Morris Injury Update

    By Wil Riggs,

    The Kansas City Chiefs dropped their final preseason game to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night 34-21. The Chiefs end the preseason 0-3. For the most part, Kansas City made it through this game and most of the preseason unscathed injury-wise.

    The reigning two-time defending champions did have an injury scare in the first quarter, though, when left tackle Wanya Morris exited the game and did not return.

    Following the game, coach Andy Reid provided an injury update on Morris.

    "Really, there's not much on the injury front for you," Reid began. "Wanya was the primary one. He just kind of tweaked that knee a little bit but other than that, we came out pretty clean.

    “He's going to be OK – we're just going to give him some time here to rest up and go. He was doing a nice job when he had the opportunity."

    Clearly having someone to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blindside is important. The Chiefs also selected Kingsley Suamataia in the second round out of BYU to also shore up that position just in case.

    Morris started four games as a rookie last season for the Chiefs. The Oklahoma product will likely be the starter at left tackle when the season opens on Sept. 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.
