Chiefs put LG Joe Thuney on IR, activate RB Jerick McKinnon in finalizing Super Bowl roster
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs placed All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney on injured reserve and activated running back Jerick McKinnon on Saturday, finalizing the roster that they will take into the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. McKinnon remains a longshot to play after having surgery in early January to repair a core muscle injury. The Chiefs designated defensive tackle Mike Pennel to be their lone practice squad elevation for the Super Bowl. The 49ers elevated defensive linemen Alex Barrett and T.Y. McGill from their practice squad.
