Some notes
- The Chiefs listed four players who would not have practiced due to injury: defensive tackle Chris Jones (calf), left tackle D.J. Humphries (hamstring), safety Chamarri Conner (concussion) and linebacker Jack Cochrane (ankle). Cochrane fractured his ankle on Saturday, so he will not be available to the Chiefs on Wednesday.
- Right tackle Jawaan Taylor (knee) would have been limited, indicating he may have a better chance to suit up against the Steelers than Jones or Humphries would.
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is still on the injury report, but he would have been a full participant.
- The Steelers listed five players who would not have practiced due to injury, including cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (knee). Porter left Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens early due to his injury.
- Pittsburgh listed four players who would have been limited, including defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin), wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) and defensive back DeShon Elliot (hamstring). Ogunjobi and Elliot missed the last two games due to injury — and Pickens missed the last three.
