In the lead-up to the highly anticipated AFC Championship game, the Kansas City Chiefs have officially ruled out four key players and labeled four others as questionable. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens received a boost with the expected return of tight end Mark Andrews.

For the Chiefs, wide receiver Skyy Moore, defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, offensive lineman Prince Tega Wanogho, and left guard Joe Thuney have all been listed as out. Moore remains on the injured reserve due to a knee injury, while Nnadi is nursing a tricep issue. Wanogho is on the injured reserve due to a quad injury, and Thuney is out with a pectoral problem.

Replacing Thuney in the lineup will be offensive lineman Nick Allegretti, who has earned praise from his teammate Chiefs right guard Trey Smith. Smith expressed confidence in Allegretti's abilities, highlighting his hard work, passion for the game, and willingness to help others improve.

Notably, this marks the second consecutive playoff game in which the Chiefs will be without the services of Derrick Nnadi. However, Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna remains optimistic, expressing faith in the team's depth and the ability of other players to step up in Nnadi's absence.

In terms of the Chiefs' questionable players, safety Mike Edwards, linebacker Willie Gay Jr., running back Isiah Pachecho, and wide receiver Kadarius Toney all face uncertain availability for the game. Edwards has made progress by participating in a full practice session on Friday, while Pachecho and Toney were limited in practice. Meanwhile, Gay did not practice on Friday, raising concerns about his potential absence from the upcoming game.

On the Ravens' side, tight end Mark Andrews, who was previously on the injured reserve due to an ankle injury, is expected to play in the game. Andrews' return will undoubtedly provide a boost to the Ravens' offense as they aim to secure a victory against the Chiefs.

As the AFC Championship game draws near, both teams will eagerly await updates on the status of these players, knowing that their availability could significantly impact the outcome of the match. Filled with anticipation, fans can expect an intense battle on the field.
