ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney had surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus in his knee on Tuesday morning, coach Andy Reid said.
“There’s a chance for the first game,” Reid said of a timeline for Toney’s return. “We’ll just have to see how the recovery goes with him. But I mean he’s bound and determined he’s going to be there for the first game. We’ll see how it goes.
“I’m glad they caught it, that it happened this early where he can get himself back. We’ve got a lot of time still left. He’s a smart kid so he picks his stuff up fairly easily. I don’t think he’s going to have a tough time getting back in. It’s just [a matter of] getting back into football shape.”
Toney was injured while returning a kick in a prepractice session on Sunday, the first day of training camp. He has not practiced since but has been attending meetings.
