The Chiefs have placed defensive lineman Chris Jones on the COVID-19 list, per an announcement from head coach Andy Reid. With their next game just two days away, this effectively rules Jones out for Thursday night’s matchup against the Chargers.

Through eleven games this year, Jones has seven sacks, 14 quarterback hits, and five pass breakups to his credit. His consistent pressure will be sorely missed this week, though the Chargers will also be shorthanded on the opposite side. Top left tackle Rashawn Slater has also been placed on the COVID-19 list with little chance of getting cleared before Thursday night.
The Chiefs furnished Jones with a four-year, $80MM extension before the 2020 season. He responded with his second consecutive Pro Bowl nod and 7.5 sacks, a strong return to kick off the new deal. Midway through his sixth season, Jones has amassed 47.5 sacks for the Chiefs despite spending much of that time on the interior.
A win on Sunday would put the Chiefs inches away from locking up the division. A loss, on the other hand, would leave the AFC West wide open for the Chargers.
