A mystery unfolded in Kansas City on Monday as an ambulance took a player away from the team's practice field, after media members who were present at the practice were escorted from the field.

Per Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star, coach Todd Haley suggested after practice that something happened to one of the team's injured players.

"There's nobody I know of right now," Haley said following the Monday session, per Teicher. "The guys out there practicing practiced hard. I didn't see anything occur where. . . . We're fighting through some things with some guys you've been aware of."

Teicher hints that the player who was taken by ambulance is linebacker Cameron Sheffield, who gave the team a scare during a preseason game after suffering an apparent neck injury. He quickly recovered, and he was released from a hospital the next day.

Still, Teicher makes no mention of the injury that Sheffield suffered. Also, Teicher's item wasn't posted until 11:31 p.m. CT, hours after the incident occurred.
