The return of Mathieu as the starting safety will give the Chiefs a significant boost prior to the game. Although he is cleared to participate in the game yet there still lies some fog of uncertainty about whether he’ll play. As the Chiefs are monitoring Tyrann Mathieu after he missed more than a week’s training.

Mathieu made sure that he attended all the virtual meetings even though being listed in the Covid Reserve. He wanted to know how the Chiefs would approach Browns defensively and the involvement of the safety, in one of the most enticing starting matches of the season.

Tyrannical Tyrann Mathieu against the Browns?

Mathieu had a tremendous 2020 season as he picked off 6 passes and registered 62 tackles. Which earned him a spot on the All-Pro team the second time and his third trip to the Pro Bowl. Hence, being the star safety of the Chiefs, his presence would hold the Browns from taking away unnecessary points.

The Arrowhead Stadium awaits for the season to start in just a day’s time. And with so little time left, it is doubtful whether Mathieu starts for the Chiefs or sits on the sidelines watching his mates go against the Browns.
