KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder defended his medical staff’s response to the eye injury sustained by Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy last week. Burkholder said Friday that he spoke with their medical staff and exchanged text messages with Baltimore coach John Harbaugh to “clear the air.” Van Noy injured his right eye in the third quarter of the first NFL game last week, which Kansas City won 27-20. He said later that he was “disappointed” about how long it took for the Chiefs doctors to see him in the locker room after leaving the field. Van Noy was seen by Ravens physicians.
