Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed suffered an unimaginable loss last week. Sneed's brother was stabbed to death in a tragic turn of events, causing the 24-year-old defensive back to understandably be away from the team for a short period. Sneed, who rejoined the team on Wednesday, didn't practice and was ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sneed issued a heartfelt statement on Wednesday regarding the death of his brother.

“I would like to thank everyone, especially the fans and the Kansas City Chiefs organization, for all the love and support they have given me the past few days during such a trying time. It means so much to me. We deeply appreciate everything you are doing to help us get through this difficult time. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to me. Thank you.”

It's impossible to imagine what L'Jarius Sneed is going through right now. However, it probably gave him at least some comfort to know that he had the entire strength of the Chiefs organization and Chiefs' Kingdom behind him during his trying time.
