Schwartz is done for the season, almost certainly.
And a guy who plays about 25% of the snaps isn't a "need". It would be great to get him back but we don't need him in any way, shape, or form. As long as Hitchens and Wilson can play, they'll be fine. [Reply]
It's certainly possible that Watkins or CEH could practice tomorrow and play Sunday, but I don't think that'd be a smart bet if you had to put money on it.

Yep. He's only around b/c of his tendency to answer the bell for the playoffs. If he can't do that, the Chiefs need to move on from the guy. Hell, they need to move on from the guy regardless next year. So sick of him not being able to play. [Reply]
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (hip) was downgraded to "DNP" on Thursday.
CEH was limited on Wednesday coming off the Chiefs' bye week. It's possible this is part of a pre-planned routine to manage CEH's reps, but it's still a bad sign for a player who went down in Week 15. Edwards-Helaire should now be considered on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's Divisional Round showdown with the Browns. His absence would leave Le'Veon Bell and Darrel Williams to sort out touches in the Chiefs' backfield. The last time things mattered for the Chiefs in Week 16, coach Andy Reid featured Williams over Bell.
