Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo emphasized that his unit is planning for multiple scenarios.
We would handle it no different, obviously, than somebody getting hurt in the middle of the game. Guys have got to be ready to step up. Mathieu has been participating in team meetings via Zoom.
