Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has been released from the hospital and is in “great spirits,” a team spokesperson told reporters Monday.
Reid did not show up for his normal Monday media availability but was expected to rejoin the team later Monday or Tuesday.
Reid left Arrowhead Stadium in an ambulance after Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs announced Sunday evening that Reid “fell ill” at the game’s conclusion and was in stable condition at a local hospital. The team didn’t expound on what type of illness Reid suffered.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday that Josh Gordon is signing with the Chiefs after being reinstated by the NFL from this latest substance abuse suspension. Gordon later confirmed Schefter’s report on Twitter.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Gordon will initially join the Chiefs practice squad to work up to game speed after not playing in an NFL game since the 2019 season.
At his best, Gordon was one of the NFL’s most explosive weapons. In his second NFL season in 2013, Gordon tallied a league-best 95 catches for 1,646 yards along with nine touchdowns for the Cleveland Browns. But substance abuse struggles tamped his availability and production. Gordon’s missed several stints since 2014 while serving his suspensions including the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons. He’s not approached his 2013 production since.
