One of the difficulties the Kansas City Chiefs faced during Sunday afternoon’s 24-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills was a shortage of secondary depth. With starting cornerback Trent McDuffie working his way back from injured reserve — and normal backup Rashad Fenton inactive because of a hamstring injury — fourth-round rookie cornerback Joshua Williams had to make his first start of the season.
McDuffie had actually been designated for a return to practice last week — and participated in all three practices leading up to Sunday’s game. But speaking to reporters on a Zoom conference call on Monday, head coach Andy Reid said that last week’s goal was to evaluate precisely where McDuffie stands on his recovery.
