Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to members of the media after the team's 27-24 Divisional Round victory over the Buffalo Bills. As usual, Reid began with information about the Chiefs' injuries.

“Mike Edwards had a concussion,” Reid said. “[Willie Gay Jr.’s] Neck – he pinched his neck and it bothered him. Joe Thuney injured his right pectoral muscle.”

Edwards suffered a concussion early in the game, leaving Justin Reid and freshman Chamarri Conner to pick up the slack. Gay's neck problem surfaced on Saturday and cost him most of the game.

Nick Allegretti came into action for Thuney after a chest injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that Thuney is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.

According to NFL NextGen Stats, Bills defensive linemen Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones went unpressured on 38 combined pass runs, marking Oliver's first non-pressure game since Week 13 of 2021. Oliver played 10 individual fights against Thuney in the game.
