Super Bowl LIX comes at the end of a long, gruelling NFL season, as the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs lock horns in an attempt to win one more game that will see them crowned as world champions.
Injuries are unfortunately often key in deciding these crucial matches, so how do the Eagles and Chiefs match up going into Sunday’s clash in New Orleans?
DAZN News takes a look at the latest injury news from both camps.
Kansas City head coach Andy Reid gave an injury update on Tuesday evening and his short and sweet statement was good news for Chiefs fans.
“Great to be here; I don’t have any injuries,” he told the assembled media.

Last week the Chiefs had listed five players on their first Super Bowl injury report, with Patrick Mahomes (ankle), Bryan Cook (quad), Kareem Hunt (quad), Jawaan Taylor (knee) and Jaylen Watson (ankle) included, but Reid’s comments indicate that quintet are all available to play and, barring any late issues, the Chiefs will be at full strength this weekend.

While several of these players were included on this initial report as they were being rested, there are some concerns ahead of Sunday’s game.
Back-up running back Kenny Gainwell is still in the concussion protocol, tight end C.J. Uzomah has an abdomen injury, wide receiver Britain Covey has a neck issue and defensive end Brandon Graham has an elbow injury.
In better news for the Eagles, center Cam Jurgens announced this week that he will be fit to play following a knee injury.
“Yeah, I mean, shout out to the trainers and the medical staff,” Jurgens told the media on Monday. “They’ve been working around the clock and helped me out. I’m in a lot better shape now than I was last week.”
