Chiefs Coach Updates on Injured Stars Ahead of AFC Championship

The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Despite facing injuries, head coach Andy Reid provided updates on cornerback Jaylen Watson, who returned from an ankle injury and is expected to contribute, and wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who has been sidelined with a knee injury. Hardman must be activated from injured reserve by Wednesday to participate in the game. The matchup is particularly significant as Kansas City looks to avenge their earlier loss to the Bills in Week 11. Reid highlighted the unique opportunity for veteran players like DeAndre Hopkins, who have not previously experienced a championship game. As the Chiefs seek revenge, they are also banking on the performance of quarterback Patrick Mahomes to secure a win.
