Jaylen Watson Returns to Practice for Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson has returned to practice, marking the beginning of a 21-day window for potential activation to the 53-man roster. After suffering a broken fibula in Week 7, Watson had been sidelined for over two months but has shown significant progress in his recovery. Head coach Andy Reid initially deemed Watson's return for the postseason a stretch, but recent developments suggest he could be ready for the Divisional Round. Watson has been a key player for the Chiefs, earning a solid coverage grade prior to his injury, and his return could bolster a defense that already ranks fourth in the NFL. The Chiefs are set to face the Denver Broncos in their final regular season game before the playoffs, where Watson is unlikely to play as the team rests starters. His comeback is viewed as a crucial boost for Kansas City's quest for a third consecutive Super Bowl title.
