The Chiefs will host the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead, and the game is just a few hours away. There have been a lot of controversies around Kadarius Toney following the games against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills. But Toney is not the only one that’s facing issues.

ESPN’s NFL reporter Adam Teicher broke the news regarding the Kansas City team, and this significant change in the roster could be a make or break for the Chiefs.

Fans claim that the Chiefs have ruled out Kadarius Toney because of his involvement in infamous offside plays. But this assessment may be far from the truth because Kadarius Toney is the Chiefs’ second-leading receiver with 27 catches this season.

However, the amount of hate the WR is getting is unparalleled, and at this point, Toney might be committed to erasing all his past blemishes. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to redeem himself for some time. It’s unclear when the Chiefs will clear him to step on the field.
