The Kansas City Chiefs might not be at full strength when they take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. Veteran offensive lineman Mike Caliendo was listed on the Chiefs’ injury report this week, which could spell disaster for Kansas City’s front-five against Buffalo’s ferocious pass rush.

Chiefs LG depth chart
The Chiefs will have to get creative to replace Caliendo if he needs to exit the field. He is starting in Joe Thuney’s spot while the veteran guard mans the left tackle position, so it isn’t clear who would replace Caliendo in an emergency situation.
