Kadarius Toney won’t be participating in the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, but he gave fans plenty to talk about with an expletive-ridden post he made on social media before kickoff.
Toney, who welcomed a child into the world on Saturday, took to Instagram Live to tell fans that the Chiefs are lying about his injury status.
Check out his profane rant below, but be warned: the graphic nature of his language isn’t suitable for all audiences.

At this juncture, it is hard to tell whether Toney’s assertions are being made in good faith, or if he is merely frustrated by his status as a no-go for Sunday’s game. The Chiefs could be punished by the NFL if they are lying about their injury report but the team made it clear that Toney’s status for the game was impacted by a “personal” matter, ostensibly the birth of his child.
Fans on Twitter were quick to respond to Toney’s accusation against his team and had a variety of responses to the bizarre situation.
Check out their top reactions below:
The Chiefs bought into the belief that THIS GUY and Skyy Moore were going to be a dynamic duo. Rashee Rice was always promising and thankfully is ahead of schedule.
They had a plan and whiffed. Badly. How Patrick Mahomes is playing football today I have no clue. https://t.co/lnZ0JYWJeW

The more we learn about Kadarius Toney, the more we realize how many red flags were ignored when he was drafted. #Giants https://t.co/9NTwSmM5ZG

I’ve been saying it for months you cannot have this guy in the WR room next year. Giants traded a number 1 pick for good reason. https://t.co/gtCM7p4r3E

The lack of self awareness here is worth cutting him. Even beyond his inability to catch the football https://t.co/BxC34Jr5KA

I think you’re starting to see why the Giants were willing to give up on their 1st round pick after a year and a half.
Great talent but the maturity level of a middle schooler. #ChiefsKingdom https://t.co/QUpNbV4cqb

I’m afraid Toney has played his last snaps as a Chief https://t.co/ihcTw4gex5

So he knew he wasn’t coming back if the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl or even next year, right? You don’t do this if you plan on being with the team next year… https://t.co/vETdvP0trN
