ANDY REID has revealed that a host of names did not train on Tuesday as injuries continue to mount.

Among those unable to practice is star wide receiver Rice, who is still under concussion protocol after suffering a head injury against the Los Angeles Chargers.

He is joined on protocol by fellow wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, who sustained a similar injury in that game.

The Chiefs are also missing two wide players on the other side of the ball.

Cornerback Trent McDuffie is dealing with a knee injury and did not train, while his positional-mate Jaylen Watson missed out with a groin injury.

Those personnel have not been confirmed injured for the AFC West giants’ game against the 12-3 Denver Broncos.

But with that game scheduled for Thursday, just days after the session, it is hard to imagine many if any of those stars recovering in time to feature.

To make things worse for the offense, backup wide receiver option Nikko Remigio also missed Tuesday’s training as a result of a knee injury.

The new round of knocks could not have come at a worse time for Reid’s men.

The Chiefs were already down to the bare bones due to injuries, especially in the quarterback room.

Franchise star Patrick Mahomes will not feature again this season after suffering a brutal ACL tear against the Chargers.

They turned to backup QB Gardner Minshew against the Tennessee Titans for his first start of the season.

But his opportunity would be cut short as well as he quickly suffered an injury to his left knee.

Reid had to turn to third-string option Chris Oladokun off the sidelines to replace the injured man, but that game still ended 26-9 in favour of the struggling Titans.

Minshew’s injury is not believed to be another ACL tear, but will still see him miss the rest of the season on injured reserve.

Oladokun, 28, completed his first career completion in that game, in what is now his fourth season in the league.

He is expected to be handed his first ever start in the Broncos game, despite the arrival of Buffalo Bills depth option Shane Buechele earlier this week.

Oladokun might be thankful that the Chiefs have already fallen out of contention for a playoff spot, lessening the pressure on his shoulders going into the game.
