Kansas City needs to start getting healthy. Perhaps head coach Andy Reid knows this, is looking at the schedule, and feels like rolling the dice against the Buccaneers. Why? Because next week, the Chiefs play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday night at Mile High.
Then again, maybe the injuries are simply mounting. On Friday, the Chiefs released their final injury report of the week, and there are a host of marquee names listed. Kansas City has ruled out Jeremy Maclin, while putting Jaye Howard down as doubtful.
As for questionable, there is Phillip Gaines, Marcus Peters, Derrick Johnson, Dontari Poe, James Winchester (family death), and Justin Houston.
