Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs (-1.5)

  • Chiefs: THE Travis Kelce (back), WR Justin Watson (illness), WR Mecole Hardman (pelvis) QUESTIONABLE
  • Bengals: G Alex Cappa (ankle), T Jonah Williams (knee) OUT

Everyone had eyes on Chiefs star quarterbackPatrick Mahomesthis week as he suffered a high ankle sprain in the win over theJacksonville JaguarsSaturday. Despite that injury, head coach Andy Reid told reporters Friday that Mahomes will start Sunday and noted that “he’s moving around good.” Mahomes was a full participant in practice all week, and so were running backJerick McKinnon(ankle) and linebackerWillie Gay Jr. (toe). With Mahomes starting, the Chiefs’ biggest injury concern involves Travis Kelce. The first-team All-Pro was added to the injury report after his back locked up Friday. Kelce was listed as a true game-time decision for Sunday’s game, but he’s active and will play. Wide receiversMecole Hardman(pelvis) and Justin Watson (illness) are also questionable.

Meanwhile, theBengalsaddedHayden Hurstto the team’s injury report ahead of Sunday’s AFC title game rematch with theChiefs. Hurst, who was not on the injury report Wednesday, was limited during Thursday’s practice with a calf injury. On Friday, Hurst declared he’ll be on the field when the Bengals face Kansas City on Sunday. Not all the injury news was good for Cincinnati, as starting offensive linemenAlex Cappa(ankle) andJonah Williams(knee) were both ruled out for the second straight game. Cappa has been out since he injured his ankle against the Ravens in Week 18, while Williams missed last week’s game after he dislocated a kneecap during the Bengals’ playoff win over Baltimore. Jackson Carman and Max Scharping are once again expected to replace both players in the starting lineup.
