WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba has been diagnosed with a mild neck strain after suffering discomfort while playing for the United States at the world hockey championship in Belarus. "After consultation with the Team USA medical staff and officials, it was determined that he should return to Winnipeg as a precaution due to his previous injury history," Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Wednesday in a statement. "Jacob flew to Winnipeg this past weekend and met with team doctors for a series of tests which revealed he had sustained a mild neck strain. "This will not affect Jacobs off-season training or preparation for next seasons training camp in any way." Trouba missed over a month of action with the Jets this past season due to a neck injury. He had 29 points (10 goals, 19 assists) over 65 games in his rookie campaign. In four games with the U.S., the 20-year-old blue-liner had three points (2-1) and averaged over 23 minutes of ice time.

Same old Andy. "Thats not where Im at right now," Reid said when asked if its going to be emotional when his Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) play the Eagles (1-1) on Thursday night. "I dont feel that way. If we werent playing a football game against a good football team, maybe your mind goes there. I dont see my mind going there. My mind is going to be on the job at hand and what weve got to get accomplished in a tough place to play." Clearly, Reid is still a stoic guy. But he also has to be aware of the spicy plot in which he is the centerpiece? Reid led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl before he was fired after going 4-12 last year in his 14th season. While hes off to an excellent start with the Chiefs, who were 2-14 last year, Chip Kelly has reinvigorated the Eagles and their fans with his fast-paced offence and all-around energy. "I have great respect for Andy," Kelly said. "If youre a coach in the NFL, anybody head coaches in one spot for 14 years, you kind of look to them and say, Holy Smokes! If you just walk down these hallways and look at the championships, the division championships, the conference championships, what hes done, hes had a huge impact on this organization. "Theres not a lot of guys out there in this profession that carry themselves, from a coaching standpoint, when you get a chance to be around them, like Andy Reid." Five things to watch for in Chiefs-Eagles: WHAT GIVES ON THE GROUND?: Led by LeSean McCoys NFL-best 237 yards rushing, the Eagles are second in the league with 352 yards on the ground. The Chiefs defence is second against the run, allowing 54 yards per game. Something has to give. Last week, the Chargers geared up to stop the run, so McCoy had a big day catching the ball. KC may be strong enough up front to contain the run without having to commit an extra defender in the box. The team that wins this battle likely wins the game..dddddddddddd "Their front seven is pretty good," McCoy said. " So far, its the most complete defence weve played. But with the offence we have, it falls on us. We just have to execute." PASS-HAPPY ANDY VS. POROUS SECONDARY: Reid has always employed a pass-first philosophy and its no different with the Chiefs. Alex Smith has thrown on 59 per cent of Kansas Citys plays, excluding his scrambles that probably started as pass plays. The Eagles woeful secondary only gives Reid more incentive to pass, allowing 748 yards passing, third worst in the league. "They try to give you a lot of unorthodox looks," Smith said of Philadelphias defence. "We have to be on with our communication. Loud stadium, so everyone is going to have to be on the same page." BLOCKING POE: Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe already has 3 1/2 sacks, including 2 1/2 on Tony Romo last week. The big guy is a disruptive force and presents a difficult challenge for the Eagles. "Hes big, hes got really good feet, he looks strong in his upper body. Hes a smart player, too," Eagles right guard Todd Herremans said. MISTAKE-FREE MIKE: Michael Vick is off to an excellent start in Chip Kellys up-tempo offence. Hes making smart decisions, protecting the ball and operating the read option to perfection. Vick threw for a career-best 428 yards last week and has a 119.0 passer rating. Hes accounted for six TDs (four passing, two rushing) and zero interceptions. "Hes very explosive, he brings the run aspect to his position, and him being a dynamic player, you always have to account for him and make sure you know whats going on," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. TIRED LEGS: The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to start the season with three games in 11 days. The Chiefs are playing their third game in 12 days. Expect some weary players out there. "Im happy that were doing this at the beginning of the season," Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin said. "If we were trying to get three games (in 11 days) in Weeks 12, 13 and 14, I dont know if you could do it." ' ' '
