Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is not expected to play Sunday in Super Bowl LVIII, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Toney was one of the stars of Kansas City's Super Bowl victory last year over the Philadelphia Eagles but has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play this season.

Toney hasn't played since a Week 15 game against the New England Patriots in which he deflected a pass to a defender for an interception for the second time this season. He was not listed on the Chiefs' injury report, however, for the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday that "we'll see," when asked whether Toney would play in the Super Bowl, adding that Toney has "been practicing, we'll just see whether he's up or not."

Toney also made headlines off the field earlier this postseason, when he said he was "not hurt" in a viral Instagram Live post after the Chiefs' victory in the AFC Championship Game. Those comments were interpreted as Toney saying he didn't have the hip and ankle injuries that the Chiefs had listed for him on their weekly injury reports.

Toney clarified last Monday that his profanity-filled rant was directed at fans of his former team -- the New York Giants -- and that he "never attacked the Chiefs, never said anything about the Chiefs."
