Sorensen took to free agency again this offseason and had remained a free agent prior to signing to New Orleans’ practice squad.
Andy Reid Talks Jets Matchup in Week 4
In Week 4, the Chiefs will travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football. Speaking to the media on September 27, Kansas City head coach Andy Reid detailed his evaluation of the 1-2 Jets squad.
“We look forward to the challenge of playing the Jets, good football team, we know that. (They have) one of the best defenses in the National Football League and an offense that’s growing, so we got to stay on top of our game,” Big Red said in the opening statement of his press conference. “(The Jets) special teams I think is number one in a lot of categories right now this season. So, we’ll start the practices today and make sure we detail our work going forward.
“They’re also well coached. Robert (Saleh) does a real nice job with the team, and Nathaniel (Hackett) we know is a brilliant guy offensively and Jeff Ulbrich is a very good defensive coordinator, so they are fully loaded on the coaching staff. And they’ve got good players. We’ve got to make sure we put the work in this week.”
Despite losing future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a torn Achilles in Week 1, Reid doesn’t believe the Jets have given up hope on a successful season.
“We’ll be ready for their best,” Reid said. “That’s what we anticipate getting there. They’re at home and they’ve got talent. So, we’ve just have to make sure we buckle down and work like crazy this week. Take care of what we can take care of.”
