Will Chris Jones play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs DL

Chris Jones’ ability to take on multiple offensive linemen at once has been invaluable for the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense since his arrival in Western Missouri back in 2016.

Unfortunately, Jones was listed on the Chiefs’ initial injury report for Week 17 ahead of their Christmas Day matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Will Jones be available to help Kansas City clinch the No. 1 seed?
