The Kansas City Chiefs will hope for good news about their depleted secondary during their first-round playoff bye week.
Safety Juan Thornhill suffered a knee injury in Kansas City's victory Sunday over the Los Angeles Chargers, which coupled with New England's loss to Miami gave the Chiefs the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. Thornhill's injury appeared serious — he needed the help of two trainers to limp off the field, never putting any weight on his knee.
The Chiefs already were missing cornerback Morris Claiborne to a shoulder injury, and cornerback Bashaud Breeland left the game with an illness.
