The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Houston Texans in Week 16 looking for their 13th win of the regular season.
On Thursday afternoon, Kansas City held its final practice of the week and released its final injury report for the AFC heavyweight matchup.
The report provided expected updates on the status of Patrick Mahomes and Chamari Conner, who were injured in last week’s game against the Cleveland Browns. Several offensive linemen were also named to the Chiefs’ injury report this week.
This final report from Kansas City doesn’t have any major surprises in store for fans, with Week 16 promising to see Mahomes and Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown on the field together for the first time in the regular season. It’s going to be fun.
