• Mark Andrews has logged practice time over the last couple of days and is set to make his return from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 11. It is unknown how many snaps Andrews will see, but Lamar Jackson will have a trusted weapon back for the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs.

• Isiah Pacheco (ankle, toe) is questionable for Kansas City. He was sidelined for the first two days of practice following K.C.’s Divisional Round victory over the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs would likely pivot to Clyde Edwards-Helaire as their RB1 if Pacheco were to miss time.

• Kadarius Toney (hip/personal) has officially been ruled out for the Chiefs. Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman should see additional snaps for K.C.

• Sam LaPorta has been removed from the injury report for Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the 49ers. He’ll continue to play through injuries that have been nagging him for the past few weeks.
