KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Kansas City Chiefs are just one practice away from a game that could book their ticket to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX.

Following Thursday’s practices for both the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, the organization’s shared their second injury report of the week. Once again, the Chiefs’ report featured four players who were all full participants, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) and cornerback Jaylen Watson (ankle).

The Bills, however, have several players with uncertain statuses ahead of Sunday’s game.

Thursday, cornerback Taron Johnson, who suffered an injury to his neck/shoulder during an AFC Divisional win over the Baltimore Ravens, was downgraded from a full participant Wednesday to a limited participant a day later.

That list includes cornerback Christian Benford (concussion), who has been a limited participant both days, linebacker Matt Milano (bicep/hamstring), who has also been limited each day, as well as safety Taylor Rapp, who hasn’t practiced at all this week as he deals with back and hip injuries.
