Kadarius Toney has been ruled out for the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Raiders due to a hip injury. The wide receiver, who has faced criticism for recent mistakes costing the Chiefs, did not practice all week. Toney’s recent blunders include a crucial penalty for lining up offsides, negating a potential game-changing play. Both Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid criticized the officials for the call and were fined.
Toney accused the referees of not warning him about his alignment. In the subsequent game, he dropped an easy pass, resulting in an interception. Toney, a former first-round pick, has struggled with injuries throughout his career, missing time with toe and ankle issues this year in addition to the recent hip injury. He has recorded 27 receptions for 169 yards and a touchdown this season.
