Chiefs' Jones guarantees full participation in Super Bowl
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones doesn't believe the calf injury that has limited him this postseason will affect his participation in Super Bowl LIV.
The star pass-rusher is "one thousand percent" sure he'll be ready to play a full role in the season finale against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 2, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.
Jones missed the Chiefs' divisional-round clash against the Houston Texans on Jan. 12 and appeared in just 42% of defensive snaps in the AFC Championship Game against the Titans. He recorded two tackles and one quarterback hit against Tennessee on Sunday.
Despite missing three games in 2019, the 25-year-old's nine sacks led Kansas City for the second straight year. He's amassed 24.5 sacks since 2018.
