Kansas City Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones missed practice on Sunday due to a groin strain, coach Andy Reid said.

Jones, a two-time first-team All-Pro selection who has won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs, is fresh off signing a five-year contract extension in March worth just shy of $160 million.

The eight-year veteran, who has also been named to five Pro Bowls, has 75 1/2 sacks in his career, including 26 over the past two seasons combined. He was third in Defensive Player of the Year voting back in 2022.

Reid gave no indication of the severity of Jones’ injury, nor did he disclose a timeline for his return to practice.

Also missing practice for Kansas City on Sunday were wide receivers Marquise Brown (illness) and Justin Watson (foot).
