TYRANN MATHIEU NEWS

Week 1 status in doubt Mathieu (illness) didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Sunday's season opener against the Browns remains up in the air, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mathieu was placed in the COVID protocols eight days ago. While individuals who are vaccinated -- which Mathieu reportedly is -- don't need to spend a full 10 days in the protocols and can return once they produce two negative tests 48 hours apart, they also must be asymptomatic for 48 hours to be cleared. The deadline to activate Mathieu will be Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EDT.

Not practicing Wednesday Coach Andy Reid said Mathieu (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Mathieu tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was expected to rejoin the team ahead of Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if he has cleared protocols and is just not practicing, or if he is still under protocols as he hasn't officially been activated off the COVID-19 list. The star safety will be in danger of missing Week 1 if continues to be absent at practice. Armani Watts is the most likely candidate to start at safety if Mathieu is unable to go.

Could return Wednesday Coach Andy Reid said Mathieu (illness) remains in COVID-19 protocols, but the safety could rejoin the team ahead of Wednesday's practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mathieu has been on the COVID-19 list since testing positive for the virus last week, but he could end up getting a full week of practice ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Browns. Armani Watts remains the likely candidate to start at safety should Mathieu be unable to gain clearance in time.

Tests positive for COVID-19 Mathieu was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Mathieu has a chance to return after a relatively brief absence since he's fully vaccinated, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports. Under the league's health and safety protocols, he'll need to produce two negative tests at least 24 hours apart to return to the team. The 29-year-old is slated to have a significant role in the Chiefs' secondary once he's fully healthy, but Armani Watts would likely start Week 1 against Cleveland if Mathieu is unable to return in time.
