Is Chris Jones playing today? Injury updates for Chiefs DL

Star pass rusher Chris Jones is a physical powerhouse who has helped build the fearsome reputation of the Kansas City Chiefs defense.

After his injury in the Chiefs’ Week 16 win over the Texans, is Jones prepared to take the field for Kansas City’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day?

Chris Jones injury update

Jones sustained a calf injury in Week 16 that caused him to miss practice this week. Though he returned as a limited participant in the Chiefs’ drills on Tuesday, Kansas City officially listed him as questionable for its tilt against the Steelers.

How long will Chris Jones be out?

It is unclear how much time—if any—Jones will need to miss due to his current condition.
