The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans have now completed two practice sessions ahead of their upcoming playoff showdown on Saturday.
All 52 players on the Chiefs' active roster continued to practice in some capacity on Wednesday, which is all the proof they need for the No. 1 seed and awarded first-round bye week being necessary. They still have some injury questions surrounding CB Jaylen Watson, who looks to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the playoff game. Meanwhile, there are plenty of guys like Chris Jones who are feeling quite rejuvenated and making a return to the practice field after dealing with injuries late in the season.
Let's examine the Chiefs' and Texans' second injury reports of the week ahead of the divisional round of the playoffs. . .
