Kansas City Chiefs left guard Joe Thuney will not practice Wednesday due to a pectoral injury and is "unlikely" to play in Sunday's AFC title game in Baltimore, ESPN reported.

The same report, citing another source, said the All-Pro was "going to work like crazy" to be on the field against the top-seeded Ravens.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Thuney would not participate in Wednesday's session due to the injury sustained in Sunday's 27-24 divisional playoff win against the Buffalo Bills.

Thuney, 31, earned his first All-Pro first-team selection earlier this month and was named to his second consecutive Pro Bowl after starting all 17 games in 2023.

The three-time Super Bowl champion has made 129 starts with New England (2016-20) and Kansas City since being drafted in the third round by the Patriots in 2016.

Nick Allegretti replaced Thuney and played 13 offensive snaps in the victory against Buffalo. The 2019 seventh-round pick has appeared in 74 games (13 starts) in five seasons with the Chiefs.
