HEAD COACH TODD BOWLES
(On S Antoine Winfield Jr. appearing on Friday's injury report with a foot injury)
"It's sore but he'll be fine on Monday."
(On if it's the same foot that Winfield Jr. injured in Week 1)
"It's just his foot. He'll be fine on Monday."
(On which players will be out for Monday's game against Kansas City)
"[Evan] Deckers, [Mike] Evans and [Greg] Gaines."
(On the status of LB Lavonte David)
"He'll be fine."
(On the status of G Ben Bredeson)
"He'll be ready to go."
(On who would be the first backup guard to go in if Bredeson couldn't go)
"We'd have to sub quite a few people in there, but we have quite a few guys that could play with [Lorenz] Metz and everybody else."
(On if DB Tykee Smith has passed the concussion protocol)
"Yes, he's out. He's good."
(On when Smith cleared the concussion protocol)
"This morning."
(On if he was surprised by any of the recent trades around the league and the return for some players)
"No, nothing surprised me. I paid attention, but nothing surprised me."
(On what he remembers about facing that Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV and why his defensive game plan worked)
"Honestly, that was so long ago…When you retire, you don't forget [the Super Bowl], but when you're trying to win a game, you forget it. I've forgotten that part."
(On people saying it was one of his best defensive game plans that he's ever constructed)
"When I retire and I get a chance to look back, it'll be something to look at. Right now, I'm trying to win a ballgame."
(On if the team's recent ability to run the ball inspires confidence against Kansas City)
"You've got to be confident every week. We try to run the ball against everybody, regardless of who we're playing. They're a good team. They play good football and we think we play good football. We've just got to eliminate the little things. It's going to come down to situational football and we're going to try to win the game."
