The Chiefs will be without at least three key starters against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, as Jeremy Maclin (groin), Dee Ford (hamstring) and Jaye Howard (hip) have been declared out on the team’s injury report.
Four other Chiefs starters — cornerback Marcus Peters (hip), inside linebacker Derrick Johnson (Achilles), nose tackle Dontari Poe (back) and cornerback Steven Nelson (neck) — are listed as questionable to play in the 7:30 p.m. game at Denver.
Peters was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday and was a full participant on Friday, which is a positive sign for his availability Sunday.
