KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones spoke from the podium before practice on Tuesday. The Chiefs (6-5) will visit the Cowboys (5-5-1) on Thanksgiving (3:30 p.m. CT, CBS/KCTV, Channel 5, 96.5 The Fan).
To view his full press conference, watch and read below:
On Steve Spagnuolo noticing a change in Jones’ practice habits over the last two weeks, and carrying over to his best games of the year:
“I think I’ve been pretty consistent. Just more so, there’s a sense of urgency that practice needs to be approached with. Also, the game. So, I’m just doing that 111.”
On several players getting nicked up during the game but refusing to sit out, realizing the sense of urgency:
“I think that’s every game. I think we have a few players that never come out super-healthy after a game that’s physical. I commend those guys for fighting through whatever they’re going through.”
On his former Mississippi State teammate Dak Prescott and what he remembers from their college days:
“He won a lot. He was a great leader. But, yeah, good guy.”
On the biggest challenges in playing Thursday after a Sunday, and techniques to get themselves ready to play:
“I think rest. Make sure you’re resting. It’s more so like recovery. Get in the tubs, hydrate. Water. And do the day-to-day things to keep your body loose. Stay off your legs.”
