Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Making return in divisional round
Watson (lower leg) is active for Saturday's AFC divisional-round matchup against Houston.
Watson will make his return to the field after missing the Chiefs' final 11 games of the regular season while on IR due to a fractured fibula-tibia. It's not clear how much of a workload he'll handle after the extended absence, as Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported earlier in the week that the third-year cornerback could have his snaps monitored if able to suit up. With Watson back in action, Keith Taylor is a healthy scratch Saturday.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Takes big step toward return
The Chiefs activated Watson (lower leg) off injured reserve Friday, and he remains questionable to play Saturday against Houston.
Watson had been on IR since Oct. 22 after fracturing his left fibula-tibia Week 7 versus San Francisco. He was designated to return Jan. 3 and logged a trio of full practices this week. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid implied Thursday that Watson has a real chance of playing Saturday but also suggested that he may not get a full workload, saying of the cornerback, "we'll see how it goes as far as the game reps and all that," per Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Questionable to face Houston
Watson (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans.
Watson has been on the Chiefs' injured reserve since Oct. 22 after fracturing his left fibula-tibia in Week 7 against the 49ers. He was designated to return from IR on Jan. 3, and he was a full participant in practice all week. Watson would have to be activated from IR before Saturday's playoff bout in order to play.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Promising start to practice week
Watson (lower leg), who is currently on IR, was a full participant in practice Tuesday.
Watson hasn't played since fracturing his left ankle Week 7 against San Francisco, but he was designated to return from injured reserve Jan. 3 and appears to have a real chance of playing in Saturday's AFC divisional-round matchup against Houston. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid echoed that possibility Tuesday, saying of Watson, "I'm not telling you he can play a whole game, but I think he has a chance of playing. We'll see," per Jordan Foote of SI.com. Of late, Josh Williams has been playing most of the defensive snaps opposite Trent McDuffie at cornerback.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Doing well at practice
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Friday that Watson (lower leg) is participating in practice and "moving around well," Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Watson had his 21-day practice window opened Jan. 3, and he appears to be making significant progress toward a return from IR in time to suit up for the AFC divisional round of the playoffs. As a result of Kansas City having earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Watson has the benefit of an additional week to focus on his health. He'll need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible for postseason action.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Designated to return from IR
The Chiefs designated Watson (leg) for return from injured reserve Friday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
Watson suffered a broken fibula and tibia at the ankle in Week 7 against San Francisco and has been recovering on injured reserve for the last 10 weeks. Watson is expected to practice Friday. He isn't going to play Sunday against the Broncos with the Chiefs already announcing they will rest their starters, but it does sound like Watson will have a chance to potentially play in the divisional round of the playoffs in a little more than two weeks. Friday will mark the opening of Watson's 21-day window for activation.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Placed on IR
The Chiefs placed Watson (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Watson fractured his ankle during Sunday's win over the 49ers, an injury that will keep him out for the rest of the 2024 regular season, though he could be available to come back off IR if the Chiefs make a deep playoff run, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. With Watson sidelined, Nazeeh Johnson should have the inside track on Joshua Williams for the second starting corner job opposite Trent McDuffie, though the Chiefs signed Keith Taylor on Tuesday to bring in some additional depth and competition at the position.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Done for regular season, at least
Watson (lower leg) is slated to undergo surgery in the coming days to repair a fractured left fibula-tibia and will miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Watson has a chance to return to the field should the Chiefs still be in contention late in the playoffs, but his recovery timetable may also sideline him longer than January or February. The third-year pro had been essentially an every-down player at outside cornerback for Kansas City, so his absence will afford Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams additional starting reps at outside cornerback. Expect Watson to be officially placed on IR in the near future.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Suffers signifcant injury
Watson suffered a fractured ankle in Sunday's win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Watson was spotted with crutches and a cast after the victory, so the news isn't exactly surprising. The Washington State product will undergo further imagining Monday to determine the severity of the fracture and whether or not he may be able to return at some point later this season. Watson's likely absence in the weeks ahead will leave the Chiefs without one of their starting corners and afford increased opportunity for Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams.
