As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their second consecutive AFC Championship appearance, there will be plenty of storylines and speculation ahead. One situation to monitor will be the health of Pro Bowl defensive lineman Chris Jones and his impact on the upcoming championship game. After all, Jones’ impact during the playoffs this year could mean a lot for his future in red and gold.
Chiefs Kingdom found themselves reeling from news on Sunday afternoon that Jones would not be active for the team’s Divisional Round matchup against the Houston Texans.
Jones is in a contract year and held out until late July hoping to leverage a long-term deal from Kansas City.
