Chiefs Activate Jaylen Watson Ahead of Texans Match

The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to activate cornerback Jaylen Watson from injured reserve ahead of their playoff game against the Houston Texans. Watson has been sidelined since Week 7 due to a broken ankle but has returned to full practice and is expected to strengthen the Chiefs' secondary. Head coach Andy Reid praised Watson's hard work in recovering, stating that while it's uncertain how many game reps he will get, he has shown promising progress. Watson started the first six games of the season, contributing significantly to the defense with six passes defensed. The Chiefs have struggled at cornerback in Watson's absence, relying on less experienced players. His activation is seen as a crucial boost for Kansas City as they enter the playoffs.
