Palmer reported that Reid wasn’t feeling well and it was a precautionary move. The Super Bowl champion is expected to be just fine.
Chiefs announced Andy Reid was feeling ill, so he did not address media out of caution. I can confirm he left the stadium in an ambulance. Players didn’t know he wasn’t feeling well and were told he should be ok. Everything is pointing toward the Chiefs taking every precaution.

Obviously, when everyone first heard about this, it was a scary situation. Whenever anyone has to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance, it’s never a good thing.
However, it sounds like Reid is going to be just fine and was feeling a bit sick.

Hopefully, Reid is back to feeling 100% ASAP. You never want to see anyone sick and you definitely never want to see anyone in the hospital. Let’s all pull for him to return back to normal as quickly as possible.
