Will Mike Caliendo play vs. Bills? Injury update for Chiefs OL

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.

Is Caliendo likely to miss Sunday’s game?

Mike Caliendo injury update

Caliendo is dealing with a shoulder injury, but it has not affected his ability to practice with his teammates this week. He was a full participant in Kansas City’s drills on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and should be able to play in the Chiefs’ matchup against the Bills.

How long will Mike Caliendo be out?

After being a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, he is not expected to miss this crucial matchup with Buffalo.

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.
