A Chiefs podcast: How Rashee Rice’s injury + Kareem Hunt’s emergence affect KC
Another week, another key player injured for the Chiefs. This time it’s wide receiver Rashee Rice, who suffered a knee injury while attempting to make a tackle after Patrick Mahomes threw an interception.
On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, beat writer Jesse Newell and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian discuss the ramifications of the injury for a Chiefs offense that had been seeking an identity ... and what sort of options KC has now.
The news isn’t all gloomy. The Chiefs improved to 4-0 with Sunday’s victory at the Los Angeles Chargers and got a big effort — in his first game back with the team — from running back Kareem Hunt. How does his performance reshape the running game for KC going forward?
