The Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers listed a combined four wide receivers as questionable for their Week 4 game on “Sunday Night Football.” If the probable status designation was still a thing, it sounds
For the Chiefs, they listed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling as questionable as he was limited during the practice week with an abdominal injury. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Valdes-Scantling plans to play. That will give Patrick Mahomes his full cast of receivers, with Mecole Hardman also expected to play despite dealing with a heel injury the past two weeks.

The Buccaneers are also expected to get a trio of wide receivers back. Each of Chris Godwin, Julio Jones and Russell Gage was listed as questionable with their respective injuries heading into the game. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, all three of those receivers are expected to play on Sunday night.
The #Bucs should have their playmakers back. WRs Chris Godwin (hamstring), WR Russell Gage (hamstring), and WR Julio Jones (knee) are all expected to play today vs. the #Chiefs, per me and @TomPelissero.

Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud adds that Buccaneers LT Donovan Smith is expected to play on Sunday night.
#Bucs offense will look more whole on Sunday Night Football for Tom Brady. Per multiple reports, WR Chris Godwin (hamstring), WR Julio Jones (knee) and LT Donovan Smith (elbow) all are expected to play tonight vs. Chiefs. Mike Evans returns from suspension.

Tampa Bay will get a full arrangement of offensive weapons and protectors back for Tom Brady, which should have that offense looking much closer to normal. It will pose a big challenge for a Kansas City defense, which has impressed through the first three weeks of the season.
