Injury Report: Bengals @ Chiefs – AFC Championship

---

After beating the Bills in the Divisional Round, the Bengals will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship. No surprises this week on the Bengals injury report. Jonah Williams and Alex Cappa remain out, as they continue to rehab their respective injuries. Zac Taylor was non-committal when asked about their potential availability in the Super Bowl, should the Bengals advance. Hayden Hurst popped up on the injury report as well. However, he seems to be good to go, as are the rest who were listed.

For the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes was a full participant. Even still, the ankle injury he picked up against the Jaguars last week will have him at less than 100%. His mobility will be a key part of the game. WR’s Mecole Hardman and Justin Watson are both listed as questionable. Travis Kelce popped up on the injury report late in the week with a back injury. But his full practice suggests that he will play through the questionable designation.
