Some remarks
- The Chiefs listed just four players in their report — quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle), left guard Mike Caliendo (shoulder), right tackle Jawaan Taylor (knee) and cornerback Jaylen Watson (ankle). – but they were all complete participants.
- As was noted earlier Wednesday, the Chiefs opted to leave wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) on the reserve/injured list, effectively ending his season (more on that). here).
- For the Bills, two players were out of practice: left tackle Dion Dawkins (illness) and safety Taylor Rapp (back/hip). Bills head coach Sean McDermott described Rapp’s status as “day to day.”
- Cornerback Christian Benford (concussion) and linebacker Matt Milano (biceps/hamstring) were both limit to start the week. It’s worth noting that Milan missed the Bills’ Week 11 game against the Chiefs.
- All four Bills players listed are worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses.
