This week wasn\u2019t a normal week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">Injuries have transformed Kansas City\u2019s offensive line into an ugly Christmas sweater. As a result, the team used its extra time on Friday to determine whether guard Trey Smith (ankle) and tackle Jawaan Taylor (triceps, knee) could realistically play.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_7308,h_4110\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbra86gyqxawdr9md5.jpg\" alt=\"trey smit\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-4\">Official status designations<\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">Officially, the Chiefs designated each player as doubtful against Houston and the league\u2019s No. 1 defense on <em>Sunday Night Football<\/em> (7:20 p.m. CT, NBC\/KSHB-TV, Channel 41, 96.5 The Fan). And if neither can go, three-fifths of the team\u2019s Week 1 starters on the offensive line won\u2019t play.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">That means, as he did last week, Mike Caliendo is expected to replace Smith at right guard. And Wanya Morris could replace Josh Simmons at left tackle and Jaylon Moore could replace Taylor at right tackle \u2013 as they did over the final 18 minutes in last week\u2019s loss at Dallas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Or will they?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">Head coach Andy Reid said after practice Friday that he essentially has an ambidextrous option in filling out his lineup card.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">\u201cThey&#8217;ve actually worked both sides,\u201d Reid said Friday. \u201cSo, you know, we\u2019ll just make that decision when we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-10\">Watch Andy Reid Discuss Below<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid Gives Final Word on Houston Texans\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8_fUNPouPsE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\">Neither Smith nor Taylor practiced all week, including Friday. Asked about the chances of either player actually playing against that Houston defense without a practice, Reid said \u201cit\u2019s been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\">But the venerable head coach doesn\u2019t play games, either, and the Chiefs don\u2019t want to incur a Baltimore-like fine from the league. Reid said either player making the game is probably a stretch, noting that Smith is a bit farther along than Taylor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\">\u201cSo, if the other guys play, they play,\u201d Reid said. \u201cWe have trust in everybody there.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_183,w_4299,h_2418\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbradjcr4bnmyv8zns.jpg\" alt=\"jaylon moor\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\">The scope of that trust bleeds into special teams, too. Just three weeks ago in the loss at Denver, the Chiefs temporarily lost left guard Kingsley Suamataia to injury. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub had to shuffle his line on the field-goal team and the Broncos wound up blocking a Harrison Butker point-after attempt.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\">That miss was crucial because Denver had the ball last and knew all it needed was a field goal, rather than a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\">\u201cThe hardest ones are during the game,\u201d Toub said Thursday, \u201cwhen those guys go down and you got a guy that&#8217;s coming in and doesn&#8217;t have practice. Right now, we&#8217;re kind of anticipating, and we\u2019re working guys in there as far as their footwork and stuff like that. So, if they don&#8217;t go, we have other guys in there that have gotten practice. So that helps, but it is a factor for us on field goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_5368,h_3019\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbrafxqmf1jszq9jwq.jpg\" alt=\"roland-wallac\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\">Another key loss for both Toub on special teams and Steve Spagnuolo on defense is cornerback Chris Roland-Wallace, out for a second straight week with a back injury. The Chiefs missed him badly last week at Dallas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-21\">Toub also will need to replace return man Nikko Remigio, who surprisingly was ruled out Friday with a shoulder injury. Remigio, who\u2019s returned every punt for the Chiefs this year, was a full participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, and limited Friday.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_5146,h_2894\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/arrowhead_report\/01kbrahcqs0rgfxb5fxg.jpg\" alt=\"remigi\" \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-23\">While Toub should be in good shape with Tyquan Thornton and Brashard Smith on kickoffs, replacing Remigio on punts won\u2019t be as easy. Remigio has returned every punt for Kansas City since Dec. 8, 2024.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-24\">The team\u2019s official depth chart lists Thornton as the backup punt returner. However, Thornton has never returned a punt, either in the NFL or in college at Baylor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-26\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2013 The Chiefs\u2019 final injury report each week generally hits the Internet like clockwork.
