Thanks to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport Ron Parker Jersey , we have more information about the injury Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitchens sustained in the 30-23 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.Hitchens left the game in the fourth quarter, after he and Breeland Speaks combined on a tackle of Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay.Once he was on the sideline, he could be seen by television viewers holding his rib cage in obvious pain.After the game, head coach Andy Reid said that Hitchens had been hit in the ribs with a helmet.According to Rapoport’s sources, Hitchens’ ribs are “severely bruised,” and his injury status is now considered “week-to-week” by the team.“Hopefully Hitch will be OK,” Reid said. “I’m not saying that Hitch isn’t OK. We’ve done a couple of the preliminary things last night and we’re headed in the right direction although I’m sure he is going to be a little sore as we go.”If Hitchens cannot go, our expectation at Arrowhead Pride is that would mean more time for rookie Ben Niemann, who’s had just 14 total defensive snaps the last two weeks.“Ben’s done a nice job,” Reid said. “Smart kid Tony Gonzalez Color Rush Jersey , coach’s kid. He doesn’t say much, but I like the way he goes about his business. When he talks and has to make calls, people listen. He’s done a nice job. Mark (DeLeone)’s done a good job with him, spending extra time with him on the coaching side. I think everybody has confidence in him if that comes about.” Just like last season, the Kansas City Chiefs jumped out to a perfect 5-0 start in 2018. Then, just like last season, the Chiefs lost game six—this year against the New England Patriots.Last year’s team went on to lose five of six games after the first loss, so there was a little bit of an elephant in the room when it came to the Bengals Sunday night. Would one loss turn into another skid?Mark J.

It’s what you can’t explain. I’ll tell you what, though, this was a big game. I don’t think anyone wanted to say it, this was a big game because we had a good start last year like this and just to really get over the hump. We don’t want to say it or peak too soon. But you take it game-by-game.”Safety Ron Parker Breeland Speaks Jersey , who had his first career touchdown on an interception in the game, agreed with Ford.“It was really important for us to bounce back,” Parker said. “We were challenged last week and the first L was a tough one. I think, as a whole, offense, defense and special teams, we bounced back good today. We just played hard, man, just coming out using the crowd and making plays.”Ford and Parker will look to make it two wins in a row back at Arrowhead Stadium next Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
