On Thursday, fans in Western Missouri received the concerning news that punter Matt Araiza had been added to the Kansas City Chiefs’ injury report.
The Chiefs can’t afford to be without any special teams members for the Super Bowl.
Will Araiza be active when Kansas City faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles?
Matt Araiza injury update
Araiza was added to Kansas City’s list of injured players after he contracted an illness. Fortunately, this hasn’t slowed him down, and he has fully participated in all of the Chiefs’ practices this week, despite his illness.
How long will Matt Araiza be out?
Araiza is not expected to miss Super Bowl LIX. Fans can expect to see Araiza in action during the Chiefs’ matchup against the Eagles.
Chiefs punter depth
Kansas City does not have a backup at the punter position, so Chiefs head coach Andy Reid will have to get creative if Araiza is unable to play on Sunday.
