Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro offensive guard Joe Thuney has been ruled out of Sunday's (January 28) AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced on Friday's (January 26) injury report.
ESPN's Adam Schefter had previously reported that Thuney was unlikely to be active for Sunday's game earlier in the week.
"Chiefs’ Pro-Bowl guard Joe Thuney will not practice today due to his pec injury and, in the words of one source, is unlikely to play Sunday vs. the Ravens. But as another source also said, 'he’s going to work like crazy to play,'" Schefter wrote on his X account.
Thuney, who was acquired by the Chiefs in a trade with the New England Patriots during the 2021 offseason, started in all 17 of the Kansas City's regular season, as well as its first two playoff games. The former NC State standout was selected as a first-team All-Pro for the first time in his career earlier this month, having previously been named as a second-team All-Pro in 2019 and 2022.
Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (tricep), wide receiver Skyy Moore (injured reserve, knee) and offensive lineman Prince Tega Wanogho (injured reserve, quad) have also been ruled out for the AFC Championship Game.
The Chiefs will face the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET.
