Chiefs general manager Brett Veach is optimistic that All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones will be on the field when the Super Bowl champions kick off the NFL regular-season against Detroit next week.
As recently as last week, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said there had been “no communication” with Jones or his agents on a deal, and the star defensive tackle has been active on social media with cryptic messages that appeared to reference his holdout.
“We’re just going to keep working on this thing,” Veach said of a deal with the 29-year-old Jones, who matched a career high with 15 1/2 sacks last season. “We’re looking forward to next Thursday and hopefully he’s in the lineup and ready to go.” Sneed has been one of the Chiefs’ best cornerbacks, and a veteran presence in the defensive backfield. But he also has dealt with his share of injuries, and constant swelling in his own knee has kept him off the practice field for about a month.
