On Saturday afternoon, the Chiefs announced that defensive tackle Chris Jones travel alone in Atlanta for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Saturday night, the Chiefs announced the arrival of Jones.
“Chris Jones has joined the team in Atlanta,” the team said. “He will play tomorrow.”
The situation was not injury-related; the team attributed it to a personal matter.
It is generally unusual for players to travel to road games alone. This weekend in particular, individual travel has become even more complicated, given the consequences of Friday’s national traffic control.
Either way, Jones has gotten to where he needs to be, and he’ll play for the 6-2 Chiefs as they try to match the bye Broncos at 7-2 atop the AFC West.
