Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 28

X-Rays on the collarbone of Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire were negative.

He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine how serious it is. Rapoport said on Good Morning Football normally a collarbone injury means it's broken so he didn't rule out CEH coming back quickly since the X-rays were negative. There will be more to come on this so we'll keep an eye on it. The Chiefs are at Cincy in an early game in Week 17.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday that he expects RB Kareem Hunt (ankle) to miss Week 16 even if he clears COVID-19 protocols.

It has been an up-and-down season for the former rushing champ. The Browns are fighting for their playoff lives and need him healthy asap.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker will not play Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is in COVID-19 protocols and is unvaccinated. Elliott Fry will kick.

The Kansas City Chiefs could be without kicker Harrison Butker when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 on Sunday.

After his placement on the COVID reserve list, along with many others, Butker is among the group of players for whom they’ll need to “wait and see” concerning their availability after mid-week testing.

On Monday, Butker was among the newer players added to the list, including cornerback Charvarius Ward and tight end Travis Kelce. If there’s at least a ray of hope, it can be found in the following: he was suffering from just cold-like symptoms according to the site. Fry would do the kicking for the Chiefs according to the story.

Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce is being placed on the Reserve/COVID list, sources tell ESPN.

Schefter said Kelce is vaccinated so there’s a chance he’s back for Sunday with the new return-to-play protocols.

Taylor said Joe Mixon's injury is a sprained ankle.

HC Zac Taylor said Mixon will be limited early but he called the situation "encouraging." Seems like good news and seems like Mixon has a real shot to play in Week 16. The Bengals play a key, early Sunday game this week at home against the Ravens.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) and WR Marquise Brown (non-COVID illness) are questionable for Week 15's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Related Player: Tyler Huntley

Jackson did not practice at all this week, including Friday's walk-through. If he does play Sunday, he would be severely limited. The Packers defense has been very good and is slowly getting healthy. It may be best for Jackson to take a week off.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. He sprained his knee Week 14 and was expected to get a second opinion Wednesday.

Tough loss for the Cardinals and even tougher for Hopkins now that he is in a stable offense. All pass catchers get a boost without Hopkins.

Kliff Kingsbury said DeAndre Hopkins is having an MRI for a leg injury. No further information.

Kingsbury also said RB James Conner will get an MRI on his ankle.

Urban's tweet added that Kingsbury said Conner probably has played too many snaps in Edmonds' absence but that Conner has held up to this point. Hopefully for the Cards and for fantasy owners, Conner will be OK for his Week 15 matchup. The good news is the team plays an early Sunday game at Detroit so owners will know Conner's status in advance if he's a game-time call. The team could be close to activating Edmonds as well, as reports said he was close to going in Week 14 against the Rams.
