Andy Reid: Cardinals\' Turf Played Role In Chiefs\' Injuries 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 14, 2022 1:00 pm

Andy Reid is blaming the turf in Arizona for injuries to two Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday\'s win over the Cardinals.

The Chiefs lost cornerback Trent McDuffie to a hamstring injury and an ankle injury forced kicker Harrison Butker out of the game.

\"They resodded it, which is a good thing because they practice in there,\" Reid said of the field at Arizona\'s State Farm Stadium. \"But it was a little bit loose. That\'s what happens sometimes when you resod, is it\'s loose.

\"It was part of the Butker injury and McDuffie injury ... The turf picked up and I would tell you that that did have something to do with it. If it didn\'t, I would tell you that, too. So it\'s not an excuse by any means, but I mean, you all can see it. Watch the tape.\"

The Chiefs placed McDuffie on the injured reserve list, meaning he\'ll miss at least four games.
