Andy Reid: "Good chance" Joshua Uche plays on Monday vs. Buccaneers

The Chiefs added edge rusher Joshua Uche earlier this week and the club is preparing for him to play against the Buccaneers on Monday night.

Head coach Andy Reid said in his Thursday press conference that Uche will work into practice on Thursday and theres a good chance hell be on the field for Week 9.

Weve had the benefit of having played against him , Reid said.

So, we know hes a very aggressive, good pass rusher good all-around player, really but pass rusher.

So, well work him with the defensive line rotation-wise.

As long as he can handle anything, and I wouldnt expect that he wouldnt.

But hell start today working in there and getting used to what we do.

The Chiefs currently rank No.

5 in yards allowed and points allowed, though theyre currently in the leagues bottom 10 with just 15 sacks this season.

Reid noted that the Chiefs werent unsatisfied with their pass rush, but nevertheless wanted to give it a boost.

We just know how important that position is and adding him into the mix there is something that helps us as a football team, Reid said.

So, Id tell you thats why we did that.

Uche has registered 2.0 sacks with two tackles for loss and three QB hits in seven games so far this season.

His best year was back in 2022, when he finished with 11.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, and 14 QB hits for New England.
