It likely wasn’t until the injury report said that LeSean McCoy would miss practice on Wednesday (illness) that many fans even noticed that the running back had been missing in action for the Kansas City Chiefs. Over the last couple weeks, McCoy has been missing from the offense entirely, an interesting reality far removed from the reasons floated by the team that they were saving him for the stretch run.
Earlier this year, McCoy was leading the Chiefs running backs in production. Even in a part-time role, it was clear he still had the same juice that has placed him on the fringes of the Hall of Fame.
