Chiefs Activate Cornerback Jaylen Watson for Divisional Playoff Game

Watson returns after a 12-game absence due to a broken ankle, bolstering Kansas City's secondary ahead of their matchup against the Texans.

Jaylen Watson, who broke his ankle in Week 7, has been activated from injured reserve by the Kansas City Chiefs for Saturday's AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans.
Watson had been a key starter opposite Trent McDuffie before his injury, and his return is expected to strengthen a secondary that struggled with consistency in his absence.
Head coach Andy Reid praised Watson's hard work during rehabilitation but noted that his game reps will be determined based on his readiness during the matchup.
The Chiefs also elevated linebacker Swayze Bozeman and safety Deon Bush for the game, while wide receiver Mecole Hardman remains sidelined with a knee injury.
Kansas City, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, will face the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Central Time.
