KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The two Kansas City Chiefs who were injured in Saturday’s frigid Super Wild Card win against Miami — defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (elbow) and linebacker Cam Jones (chest), who primarily plays special teams — did not participate Wednesday at practice.
It marked the team's first practice ahead of an AFC Divisional showdown Sunday at the Buffalo Bills, the third postseason meeting with the Chiefs in the last four seasons.
Coach Andy Reid said the team will be without Nnadi and Jones, but a trio of wide receivers — Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney and Justyn Ross — were expected to return.
All three receivers were limited participants along with cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, according to Kansas City's official injury report.
Moore was placed on injured reserve Dec. 18 after injuring his left knee in a 27-17 win the day before at New England.
He’s had 21 catches for 244 yards with a touchdown in 14 games this season, his second in the NFL after Kansas City picked him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft from Western Michigan.
Now that he’s returned to practice, the Chiefs have a 21-day window to activate Moore from IR.
Toney (hip/ankle) — who’s had 27 catches for 169 yards with a touchdown, but has missed the last three games — and Ross (hamstring) — who has six catches for 53 yards this season — were both questionable but didn’t play in the Dolphins game.
Chiefs fans may be leery of Toney playing at Buffalo.
Toney had three catches for 25 yards in a 20-17 loss against the Bills on Dec. 3 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, a game most remarkable for his game-losing offensive offside penalty that erased an all-time crazy touchdown play.
Left tackle Wanya Morris, who missed the Wild Card game with a concussion, also will return to practice Wednesday.
BANGED-UP BILLS: Eight Bills players missed practice Wednesday and two others were limited participants, but quarterback Josh Allen (neck) and safety Micah Hyde (neck) were full participants.
Safety Taylor Rapp (calf), wide receiver Gabe Davis (knee) and punter Sam Martin (hamstring) missed practice along with outside linebacker Von Miller and defensive end Leonard Floyd, who were listed as "vet rest" on the injury report.
Cornerback Christian Benford (knee) and linebackers Terrel Bernard (ankle) and Baylon Spector (back) also sat out practice.
Linebacker Tyrel Dodson (shoulder) and cornerback Taron Johnson (concussion) were limited.
Buffalo signed punter Matt Haack to the practice squad as insurance if Martin isn't recovered by Sunday.
To make room, the Bills released former Jacksonville first-round running back Leonard Fournette from the practice squad.
