Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid provided his typical postgame injury update following the Week 13 loss against the Green Bay Packers on "Sunday Night Football."
The attrition started early for the Chiefs in this game, and it never really stopped. Players like Justin Reid and Charles Omenihu were banged up during the game, causing stoppages in play. Isiah Pacheco had a few nasty tackles against him, where it was a miracle that he was able to get up.
Drue Tranquill left with a concussion in the opening defensive series.
Donovan Smith left the game in the first half, but he returned and tried to play through his injury. He was replaced by Wanya Morris at the onset of the second half.
Bryan Cook was carted off the field after an ankle injury.
Reid gave updates on each of these players postgame, confirming the injuries and providing a little more detail on some.
"As far as the injuries go, (Drue) Tranquill had a concussion," Reid began. "(Bryan) Cook, we're looking at his ankle now. Donovan Smith had the stinger and the shoulder."
Cook's injury looked quite serious. According to NBS Sports sideline reporter Melissa Stark, Cook went straight to the X-ray room at Lambeau Field when he was carted to the locker room. He was seen emerging from the room unable to put any weight on his injured ankle.
As for Smith, the stinger and neck injury isn't anything new. The mention of the shoulder suggests that it might be something more. Thankfully, Morris did a nice job replacing him, so if he needs to be out for any period, the Chiefs should be good there.
