Chiefs likely will have running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire but be without Le'Veon Bell for today’s AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, per source.
Additionally, the Chiefs will test WR Sammy Watkins pregame, but don’t sound optimistic he will play today.

Not in the context of his injury history where he always is at the longest end of return from injury projections (i.e. if it is a 3-5 week injury, Watkins usually returns after 7 weeks).
It was reported as a “minor” calf injury four weeks ago and now even after practicing this week in a limited capacity he cannot get back on the field for the AFC Championship. This isn’t trying to push yourself to return at less than 100% for a week 3 regular season game. [Reply]

NO ONE on this board knows shit about his injury other than what's been in the injury report.
It has nothing to do with this particular injury and everything to do with the 20 other injuries prior to this one.
This is exactly why you don't give certain guys the big contract. [Reply]
Shit! I'm officially worried. Pats Turf toe. No Sammy. I dont trust Mecole fucking Hardman. Pringle better ball out and prove all of these KState Cathead homers right. [Reply]
