On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs printed their ticket to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in two weeks by inflicting a loss on the Baltimore Ravens in front of their fans.
It was, once again, the triumph of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. A very familiar situation for several years in the NFL.
One name that wasn’t heard often during the Chiefs’ win, however, was wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
On Saturday, less than 24 hours before the conference final, the Chiefs confirmed the absence of Toney, who has been on the injured list due to a hip injury for six weeks.
Toney, acquired from the New York Giants in 2022 for a 3rd round pick and other compensation, had a particularly difficult season with the Chiefs this year. In particular, he was heavily criticized for an easily avoidable penalty that cost the Chiefs a game against the Bills at the end of the season.
Despite the unwavering support of his trainer Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes during various press briefings, the team shows better performances without the receiver on the field.
In addition to his team-announced hip injury, Toney was home due to the birth of his baby girl last week.
On the other hand, during the match, it was on Instagram Live that the receiver made waves with a long tirade about the team.

“I’m not hurt, none of this is true. »
When we remove all the sacred words from Toney’s words, this is the essential thing we can remember.
He pointed out the lack of respect from the team, in his opinion, since his hip is doing very well.
This video has since no longer been on his official account.
Let’s bet, however, that he won’t be back during the Super Bowl and that he will have to explain himself to new employers next season.
