When the Kansas City Chiefs turned in their final injury report for Week 12, there was one very notable addition.
Three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Chris Jones, who's absence was listed as a non-injury related/personal issue.
Jones is one of the Chiefs' best players, evidenced by his team-leading 9.0 sacks. He's been as disruptive as ever in 2022, so it's easy to see why his presence on the injury report piqued interest.
Players are never guaranteed to play on Sunday in this situation, so Chiefs head coach Andy Reid calrified Jones' game day status on Friday.
"He’ll play,” Reid told reporters. Reid also clarified Jones missed Friday due to "personal reasons".
That's great news for both the Chiefs and their fans, even if the Los Angeles Rams are one of the NFL's worst teams. Jones is not only a key playmaker, he's a key leader. Losing a player of his caliber is something no team ever wants to face.
