Chiefs Place RB Darwin Thompson On COVID-19 List

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters they have placed RB Darwin Thompson on the COVID-19 list, per Herbie Teope. 

He’s the second Kansas City player to land on the list before the start of camp. 

Thompson, 24, was drafted by the Chiefs in the sixth round out of Utah State in 2019. He’s entering the third year of a four-year, $2.6 million rookie contract. 

In 2020, Thompson appeared in 14 games for the Chiefs and rushed 27 times for 97 yards and one touchdown, adding seven receptions for 65 yards and another touchdown.
