Taylor (knee) practiced in full Tuesday. Taylor has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 16, and he sat out Kansas City's Week 18 regular-season finale against Denver. That absence may have been partly due to the fact that Chiefs had already wrapped up a first-round playoff bye, though, as the team elected to rest many of its starters. Given his ability to log a full practice session Tuesday, Taylor seems like a very good bet to be able to suit up in Saturday's AFC divisional-round battle versus Houston.

Taylor (knee) practiced in full Tuesday. Taylor has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 16, and he sat out Kansas City's Week 18 regular-season finale against Denver. That absence may have been partly due to the fact that Chiefs had already wrapped up a first-round playoff bye, though, as the team elected to rest many of its starters. Given his ability to log a full practice session Tuesday, Taylor seems like a very good bet to be able to suit up in Saturday's AFC divisional-round battle versus Houston.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Taylor (knee) is back at practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Taylor missed practice with a knee injury leading up to a Week 18 absence, though most of Kansas City's starters sat out the regular-season finale. With the Chiefs having clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the starting right tackle will benefit from an extra week of rest before the divisional round of the playoffs.
Taylor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Taylor didn't practice all week due to a lingering knee injury. With the Chiefs locked in as the No. 1 seed in the AFC that comes with a first-round bye, Taylor will have two weeks of additional rest before the divisional round. Ethan Driskell is a top candidate to start at right tackle in Sunday's regular-season finale due to Taylor's absence.
Taylor (knee) is active for Wednesday's Week 17 game against Pittsburgh. Taylor had been questionable heading into Wednesday after straining his knee Saturday against Houston, but the right tackle is going to be able to play. However, the Chiefs' offensive line will still be down a starter, with left tackle D.J. Humphries (hamstring) out for a third straight contest.
Taylor (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Week 17 matchup against the Steelers. Taylor strained his knee last Saturday against the Texans and was estimated as a limited participant in practice throughout this week. If he can't play Wednesday, Ethan Driskell or Wanya Morris could be asked to start at right tackle for the Chiefs.
Coach Andy Reid said Taylor suffered a strained knee in Saturday's win over the Texans, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Taylor will have just four days to get ready for next Wednesday's Christmas Day date with the Steelers. Rookie Kingsley Suamataia replaced Taylor at right tackle against Houston and would be the logical choice to fill in there next week if Taylor can't play.
Taylor (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Texans. Taylor's injury adds to Kansas City's woes along the offensive line. Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia, both of whom had chances to start at left tackle but were benched earlier this season, are the top candidates to play right tackle if Taylor doesn't return.
Taylor (shoulder) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. The 2019 second-round pick has been battling a shoulder injury since the mid-August, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Now that Taylor has returned to full health, he's projected to start at right tackle for the second consecutive season in 2024.
Taylor suffered a shoulder injury Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Taylor was carted off the field during practice and is now dealing with a shoulder injury. While the injury is not thought to be serious, Lucas Niang will likely fill in at right tackle if Taylor ends up missing extended time.
