Steve Spagnuolo discusses replacing linebacker Cooper McDonald for Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo addressed the media on Thursday regarding strategies to replace linebacker Cooper McDonald, who has been placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. McDonald sustained the injury during Monday's game against the Denver Broncos and will miss at least four games. Spagnuolo indicated that Jack Cochrane and Jeff Bassa would step in to cover McDonald's absence. The Chiefs will face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football, and depth at the linebacker position will be critical due to McDonald's injury.
