Toney (hip/ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney and Rashee Rice (hamstring) are the only Chiefs skill-position players ruled out for Week 18 for injury-related reasons, but with Kansas City already locked in as the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs heading into the regular-season finale, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and several other key contributors are expected to be rested for the contest or play only limited snaps. Given that Toney hasn't played since Week 15 and regressed from limited practice participation Wednesday to no participation Thursday, it's far from a lock that he'll be ready to play the following week, when the Chiefs host a to-be-determined opponent in the wild-card round. Toney finishes the regular season with 27 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown on 38 targets to go with 11 carries for 31 yards over 13 appearances.

Toney (hip/ankle) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney was limited Wednesday, so it remains to be seen if his lack of participation Thursday is indicative of load management or an injury setback. Given that the Chiefs are locked in as the AFC's No. 3 seed in the playoffs, Toney is a candidate to be held out this weekend if he approaches Week 18 action at less than 100 percent.

Toney (hip/ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Toney -- who didn't practice last week -- has missed two straight games, but his limited participation in Wednesday's session suggests that he could potentially return to action Sunday against the Chargers. That said, with the Chiefs locked into the AFC's No. 3 playoff seed, the team has no incentive to play the wideout in Week 18 if he's less than 100 percent.

Toney (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney thus will miss his second week in a row due to a strained hip, which hasn't allowed him to practice during that span. In Toney's stead, the Chiefs will roll with Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Richie James at wide receiver Week 17. Toney's next chance for game action is the team's regular-season finale at the Chargers in Week 18.

Toney (hip) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney -- who was inactive for the Chiefs' Week 16 defeat to the Raiders -- also missed Wednesday's session, so his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals looks cloudy at the moment. If Toney remains sidelined for a second straight game this weekend, Richie James would likely serve as his primary replacement on offense as a slot receiver/gadget player after he hauled in three receptions for 54 yards on three targets in the loss to Las Vegas.

Toney (hip) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney missed Monday's loss to the Raiders and still isn't ready to resume practicing. He'll have two more opportunities to take the practice field Thursday and Friday before Kansas City publishes its Week 17 injury designations for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Toney (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney failed to practice in any capacity during the week, so the fact that he's been ruled out doesn't come as a significant surprise. Marquez Valdes-Scantling should have a chance to step up in Toney's absence, while Richie James could also see his snap count rise.

Toney (hip) was not spotted at Saturday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney has now failed to log any activity in practice this week ahead of Monday's matchup against Las Vegas. While his status isn't official, he's trending toward an absence, which could increase the roles of Marquez Valdes-Scantling and perhaps Richie James.

Toney (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toney is sitting out practice for a second consecutive day. He'll look to raise his participation level Saturday before the team publishes its Week 16 injury report for Monday's game against the Raiders. With Skyy Moore (knee) done for the remainder of the regular season, Kansas City's receiving corps behind rookie Rashee Rice includes Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Richie James and Justyn Ross, while it remains to be seen if Toney or Mecole Hardman (thumb) will be available Monday.

Toney won't practice Thursday due to a strained hip, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The wideout's absence from practice to begin Week 16 prep could put him at risk of missing Monday's game against the Raiders. That said, given Toney's modest production to date, he profiles as a fantasy option only in deeper leagues.
