Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on CBS, with streaming on Paramount+.
  • Patrick Mahomes is out for the season with a torn ACL, so Gardner Minshew makes his first Chiefs start as Kansas City plays out a non-playoff slate.
  • Andy Reid listed several Chiefs as not practicing Friday, including Rashee Rice, Trent McDuffie, Jawaan Taylor, Jaylon Moore, Leo Chenal and Derrick Nnadi.
  • Tennessee’s offense has trended up behind Tony Pollard, who has 265 rushing yards and three touchdowns over the last two games behind an improving line.
  • The Titans’ safety group is depleted, positioning Travis Kelce as a prime target for Minshew, while oddsmakers list Kansas City as a slight favorite around -3.
