Kadarius Toney won’t play in Sunday’s AFC Championship game, but he turned himself into a story nonetheless.
Toney, who was ruled out Saturday with both a hip injury and personal reasons following the birth of his daughter, went on an expletive-laden rant over Instagram Live on Sunday, in which he accused the Chiefs of lying about his hip injury.
“Y’all reading all this cap-ass s–t? You didn’t believe it, I don’t give a f–k,” Toney said. “Ain’t never been a n—a to do all that but man, that s–t cap.
“I’m not hurt. None of that s–t. Save that s–t. S–k my d–k too. I’m not hurt. None of that. It goes from hip to ankle to this to that.”
Toney, who last played in Week 15, bobbled a pass leading to an interception during the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ eventual 27-17 win over the Patriots.
That put an exclamation mark on a disastrous year for the former Giants first-round pick, who bore the blame in a Week 1 loss to the Lions, in which he dropped a pair of throws from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Toney’s offsides penalty in Week 14 also negated a go-ahead touchdown in a 20-17 loss to the Bills.
The Giants traded Toney, 25, to Kansas City in October 2022 for a package including a third and sixth-round pick.
He finished the 2023 regular season with just 27 catches, 169 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Injured or not, it is hard to believe the Chiefs are thrilled with Toney for creating a distraction ahead of their biggest game of the season.
The Ravens will host the Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC title game, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. in Baltimore.
