Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones didn’t seem concerned about his team’s Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions when he was seen serving hamburgers to families at the Ronald McDonald house on Wednesday.
Despite being under contract with Kansas City through the end of the 2023 season, Jones hasn’t seen fit to end his prolonged holdout while he seeks a raise in pay and significant guarantees on his next contract.

While fans will certainly be happy to see him doing some kind of work during his holdout, this likely wasn’t what they were hoping to see Jones do this week. Community service is a key part of the Chiefs’ brand, and the star defensive lineman is certainly noble for playing his part in a good cause.
Jones won’t see the field for Kansas City on Thursday, but it was good to see him lifting hamburgers and families who needed a pick-me-up ahead of the highly anticipated primetime matchup.
