With the Chiefs set to open their season on Thursday, coach Andy Reid appeared to be less than optimistic on Sunday when asked about star defensive tackle Chris Jones’s status amid his contract holdout.
Reid offered a cryptic response when asked about Jones following the latest speculation surrounding his contract extension talks. The All-Pro pass rusher was again absent from the team’s latest practice with both sides reportedly still “not close on a deal,” according NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
“I don’t know when he’s coming or not coming,” Reid said Sunday, per Rapoport.
