Count Andy Reid as among those surprised by the play of Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney in Thursday's season opener.
"The only way we're going to get him back is by playing him,'' Reid said."I think you'll see better as we go down the road here from him.''. He made some big plays during the regular season, then, in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs' Super Bowl win over the Eagles, scored a touchdown and returned a punt 65 yards to set up another.
The Chiefs were hopeful as training camp began that Toney could be their top wide receiver but he tore his meniscus in the minutes before the first practice was to begin. Toney had surgery and missed all of camp and the preseason, returning only a few days before the Lions game. "I thought him getting in the game was important, but to be fair I've got to kind of look in the mirror on that one,'' Reid said, taking the blame for Toney's play against Detroit."I probably didn't put him in the best position there because he doesn't drop the ball. That's just not his deal. He's a very, very secure catcher ...
"I thought it was important that he got in the game, got caught up on the speed, but I probably put him in bad positions there, especially later in the game. He's still getting his legs back and all that.''can play against the Jaguars. Kelce injured his right knee in practice last week and sat out against the Lions.
"Travis is getting better,'' Reid said."He's progressing. We'll see how he does the rest of today and tomorrow, and then we'll go from there.''
