Chiefs Activate Jaylen Watson for Playoff Game

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson has been activated off injured reserve and is listed as questionable to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Houston Texans. Watson, who suffered a fractured left fibula in Week 7, participated fully in practice this week and has shown significant progress, raising hopes among fans and teammates. Head coach Andy Reid indicated that while Watson may not play the entire game, he could contribute, providing a boost to the Chiefs' defense against the Texans' high-powered offense. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo emphasized the importance of Watson's practice leading up to the game, noting the need to adapt to playoff speed. Additionally, the Chiefs are set to have Joe Thuney anchor the left tackle position, which has been a concern this season. The team elevated two practice squad players to the active roster as they prepare for the matchup.
