In disappointing news, the Kansas City Chiefs will be without wide receiver Skyy Moore and defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi for their upcoming divisional round matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the absences during his Friday press conference.

Moore, who had been designated to return after sustaining a knee injury during the Week 15 victory over the Patriots, unfortunately tweaked his knee during Thursday's practice session. As a result, he will not be activated for Sunday's game. The second-year receiver had a decent regular season, with 21 receptions for 244 yards and a touchdown in 14 games.

On the defensive side, the absence of Nnadi will leave a void in Kansas City's lineup. Nnadi, who started all 17 games for the Chiefs this season, suffered a triceps injury that will keep him out of action. The talented defensive tackle had 29 total tackles and recorded a sack during the regular season.

Additionally, reserve offensive tackle Wanya Morris will also be unavailable for the game due to a concussion. This means that Donovan Smith will continue to start at left tackle for the Chiefs.

The absence of Moore, Nnadi, and Morris will undoubtedly impact the Chiefs' game plan as they face a challenging Bills team in the divisional round. However, Kansas City boasts a deep roster and talented replacements who will be called upon to step up in their absence.

The Chiefs will need to make adjustments to compensate for the missing players, and the coaching staff will no doubt have a strategy in place to overcome these setbacks as they aim to advance in the playoffs.

As the kickoff approaches, fans will be eagerly watching to see how the Chiefs' offense and defense adapt to the absence of Moore and Nnadi, hoping that their team can secure victory and advance to the next round of the playoffs.
