The Kansas City Chiefs completed their final practice on the week on Friday ahead of their AFC Championship Game clash with the Baltimore Ravens.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid briefed media members after practice explaining that four players missed the final non-walkthrough session before the team heads to Baltimore for the game.
"As far as injuries go, Willie Gay Jr. has a neck spasm and didn't practice today," Reid said. "Skyy Moore, Derrick Nnadi, and Joe Thuney (didn't practice). Everybody else worked."
When Reid spoke to the media he hadn't yet discussed the players who would be ruled out with general manager Brett Veach and head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder. He did however comment on LG Joe Thuney, who he noted could be ruled out for the game.
"The pain is not the issue," Reid said. "It's just being able to function with it."

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations:
- Mike Edwards has not yet cleared the concussion protocol, but a full practice on Friday suggests that he should clear it tomorrow without any new or worsening symptoms.
- I'm told that Isiah Pacheco is expected to play despite his questionable game status designation. It'll likely be a game-time decision for Willie Gay Jr.'s availability.
- The Chiefs do not plan to activate Prince Tega Wanogho from IR. They feel comfortable with their offensive line depth.
