General manager Brett Veach said Monday that he expects Toney (knee) to be available for the Chiefs' season opener Sept. 7 against the Lions, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Veach said the same about Isiah Pacheco (hand/shoulder), noting that he "feels pretty good" about the running back and Toney being ready to play Week 1, "barring no setbacks." Toney, who tore his meniscus during the opening practice of training camp, recently underwent a procedure to address the injury, and, at this time, is without a timetable for returning to the field. Once healthy, Toney is a candidate to emerge as the top option in a Kansas City wideout corps that also includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Rashee Rice, Richie James and Justin Watson.
