The WR has taken 20 catches for 223 yards in the playoffs. And head coach Andy Reid would want him starting the big game. “He’s all right”, said Reid to the media after the practice ended. But Rice isn’t the only player who might not start in the Super Bowl because of an injury.

Just like Rice, left guard Joe Thuney has also been monumental to the Chiefs’ success in the regular season. However, the 31-year-old missed the bulk of the playoffs because of a pectoral injury he suffered against the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs did manage to fill Thuney’s void in the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. However, Rice has proven himself to be irreplaceable, especially such close to the Super Bowl.
