90 Josh Mauga ILB

Mauga missed Friday's practice with a hip flexor injury, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Mauga's injury doesn't appear to be very serious. Look for him to return to action sooner rather than later.

Mauga (shoulder) signed a contract with the Chiefs on Thursday.

The linebacker has spent the past two years with the Chiefs, but missed almost all of last season due to a shoulder injury. His return to the team could mean Mauga is now healthy, although the team has to address his status. If he can remain healthy throughout training camp, the five-year pro should compete for a reserve spot on the 53-man roster.

Mauga (shoulder) will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, BJ Kissel of Chiefs.com reports.

Mauga will miss the entire 2016 season due to a labral tear. The veteran linebacker was expected to be a catalyst of the Chief's defense. Ramik Wilson will have a chance to earn a starting spot during his absence.
