The Kansas City Chiefs will be without one of the best offensive guards in the NFL for Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the No. 1 seed Ravens.

All-Pro lineman Joe Thuney has been ruled out with a pec strain.

Thuney isn’t the only injury blow for the Chiefs this weekend. The team will also be without starting defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (tricep). Wide receiver Sky Moore and reserve offensive tackle Prince Tega Wanogho will remain on IR.

Running back Isiah Pacheco (toe), linebacker Willie Gay (neck) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip/ankle) are all questionable.

Thuney started all 17 regular-season games for the Chiefs this year, earning his second Pro Bowl appearance and first First-Team All-Pro honors. The former Patriots’ championship pedigree will certainly be missed in Sunday’s highly-anticipated AFC Championship matchup.

Sunday’s game will kickoff at 3 p.m. ET in Baltimore.
