Things continue to trend in the right direction for cornerback Jaylen Watson to play in the Kansas City Chiefs’ Divisional round playoff game against the Houston Texans on Saturday.
Watson underwent surgery on a broken ankle in mid-October. Those within team circles believed it would be a reach for his return this season. But the cornerback rehabbed diligently — and after missing the Chiefs’ last 11 games, he seems poised to make his comeback for the club’s most crucial stretch of the season.
Watson officially took the practice field again on January 3.
