Some notes
- The Chiefs listed just four players on 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 full participants.
- As was noted earlier on Wednesday, the Chiefs have chosen to leave wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) on the Reserve/Injured list, 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 has described Rapp’s status as “day to day.”
- Cornerback Christian Benford (concussion) and linebacker Matt Milano (biceps/hamstring) were both limited to start the week. It’s worth noting that Milano missed the Bills’ Week 11 game against the Chiefs.
- All four Bills players listed are worth watching as the week carries along.
