In the latest news coming out of Kansas City, the Chiefs have made some moves to bolster their roster ahead of their Thursday night showdown against the Ravens. Head coach Andy Reid is feeling optimistic about the potential impact of the two new veteran additions to the team.
Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, one of the new faces on the squad, has expressed uncertainty about his readiness for the upcoming game. In a statement on Tuesday, Smith-Schuster remarked, “It’s too early to say” if he will be fully prepared to hit the field on Thursday. However, his past experience with the Chiefs gives him an advantage over running back Samaje Perine in terms of familiarity with the offense.
Coach Reid shared his thoughts on the situation, stating, “I think yes, absolutely. Yeah, I think so.” He expressed confidence in both players’ potential to contribute on game day, emphasizing that Perine has been putting in the work to get up to speed with the playbook. Reid added, “I’m not going to put him in a bad position, obviously, but I think he’s going to be fine. He’s been in here cranking away. So we’ll see how everything goes.”
In light of the absence of Hollywood Brown for the Ravens, Smith-Schuster could prove to be a valuable asset to the Chiefs as they aim to kick off their quest for a third consecutive championship with a win at home over Baltimore. The stage is set for an exciting matchup as these two powerhouse teams prepare to face off under the lights.
