The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded CB L’Jarius Sneed to out for the team’s Week 14 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Sneed was listed as questionable on Saturday following news of the death of his older brother TQ Harrison in their hometown of Minden, Louisiana. Sneed traveled back to Minden on Saturday, on a jet provided by Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and he currently remains there with his family according to reports from KC Star beat writer Sam McDowell.

Here is the report on the tragedy involving Sneed’s brother from Shreveport, Louisiana’s KTBS-TV via our friends out Touchdown Wire:
“TQ Harrison died from a single stab wound to his back, that punctured his lung,” said Cropper, adding the murder weapon — a large kitchen knife — has been recovered.
Harrison attempted to drive himself to Minden Medical Center after being stabbed, however he crashed his vehicle on the backside of the hospital.
Harrison was reportedly transported to Oschner – LSU Hospital where he succumbed to his injury following an emergency surgery police said.”
Angela Washington, 47, has been arrested and charged in connection to Harrison’s death.
The Chiefs elevated two cornerbacks to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Saturday with Sneed’s expected absence and injuries at the position. Both Dicaprio Bootle and Josh Jackson are expected to be active for Kansas City on Sunday against the Raiders.
Sneed’s status on a short week with a trip to Los Angeles to face the Chargers on “Thursday Night Football” is also in question at this point.
