Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expects wide receiver Kadarius Toney to play in the season-opening game Thursday against the Detroit Lions, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic.

"Right now, he's good to go," Reid said Sunday. "He's moving around pretty well. We'll take it day by day."

Toney missed most of training camp after suffering a knee injury in the opening practice and undergoing surgery.

The 24-year-old - who was acquired midseason last year from the New York Giants - is projected to lead the Chiefs' wideout group alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore.

Toney struggled to make a significant impact in the regular season following the trade, recording 14 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns in seven appearances.

However, he produced the longest punt return in Super Bowl history (65 yards) to set up a Chiefs touchdown while also adding a receiving score in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
