Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins (calf) is expected to be ready to play in Super Bowl LV, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Whether or not Watkins plays is pretty much irrelevant for the Chiefs offense. They are explosive with him on the field, and they have no problem making plays when he misses time...and he misses quite a bit of time. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes to visit specialist Sun Jan 24, 11:51 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (toe) was diagnosed with a case of turf toe on his left foot after last week's Divisional Round playoff game versus the Cleveland Browns. Even though he took the majority of snaps during practice this week, he is scheduled to see a specialist at the end of the season to determine if he'll need to undergo surgery.
| Footballguys view: This could be a key to the game because Mahomes is at his most dangerous on the move and he likes to make lots of off platform throws that rely on precision. |

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (toe) said Friday, Jan. 22, the toe injury he suffered in the AFC Divisional Round against the Cleveland Browns is 'feeling a lot better.'
| Footballguys view: What else is he supposed to say? We're sure that Mahomes is going to give it his all with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. However, we will also be watching closely to see if this toe problem springs up again. It can impact how much and how effective he scrambles plus it can effect his pass placement. |

Chiefs | Tyreek Hill could return punts Fri Jan 22, 12:39 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill has been taking some reps returning punts in practice this week in case a key situation arises in the AFC Championship Game, Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub said Friday, Jan. 22. Toub added that Hill has asked to do so. 'It's just a matter of finding the right time to call his number,' Toub said.
| Footballguys view: Just like Dan Fouts said in the Waterboy, 'don't hold anything back!' The Chiefs have to do whatever it takes to get back to the Super Bowl. They are the favorites over the Bills, but it could be close and that's where a player like Hill can break things open on any touch. With a trip to Super Bowl LV on the line, it only makes sense for Hill to be an option as a punt returner. |

| Footballguys view: Edwards-Helaire might be available to the Chiefs this week. He missed the Divisional Round game which led to the Chiefs leaning on Darrell Williams and Le'Veon Bell more. Let's see what the rookie first-round pick does on Friday but he's trending in the right direction. |

| Footballguys view: Mahomes is dealing with getting through the concussion protocol, but the toe injury is a concern.

| Footballguys view: It's early, but this has to be seen as good news for the Chiefs. According to sources via ESPN's Adam Schefter, it is still 'too early to say that he definitely will play' against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship. We'll know more about Mahomes status later in the week. |
