Chiefs' Tyrann Mathieu Says He Suffered Fractured Thumb Injury in Deleted Tweet

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu revealed he fractured his thumb during Sunday's win over the Washington Football Team in a since-deleted tweet, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.

Mathieu has mostly been able to avoid injuries in his career, appearing in 63 of 64 possible regular-season games over the past four seasons. His only absence came when the Chiefs rested their star names in Week 17 of the 2020 campaign.

The 29-year-old was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the season opener against the Cleveland Browns, but he returned in time for Week 2.
