Kansas City Chiefs injury report: Chris Jones, Jawaan Taylor questionable for Steelers gameProfimedia
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (30) and right tackle Jawaan Taylor (27) are both questionable for Wednesday's Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jones was limited in practice on Tuesday after missing out on Sunday and Monday. The five-time Pro Bowler is currently third on the Chiefs in sacks (5), second in tackles for loss (9), and first among Kansas City's defensive linemen, 9th overall, in tackles (27). Jones has played in all 15 games for the Chiefs this season.

Meanwhile, Taylor has been a limited participant all week. The six-year veteran, now in his second season with the Chiefs, has played in every single game since being drafted 35th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2019 NFL Draft and leads all offensive tackles in snaps played (1,030) this year.

Taylor's 62.7 PFF grade ranks 64th out of 133 tackles. He currently has a 73.1 pass-blocking grade (39th) and a 58.0 run-blocking grade (82nd).

Starting left tackle D.J. Humphries was listed as out as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. Humphries has only played in one game this season. Cornerback Chamarri Conner is also out due to a concussion. 

Conner has played in 14 of the Chiefs' 15 games this year and is fourth on the team in total tackles (72) and tied for second in interceptions (2). The two-year starter, who made the clutch field goal block in the 2023 Super Bowl, has a 68.1 PFF grade that ranks 45th out of 164 cornerbacks.

He also has a 64.2 coverage grade (54th), 76.5 run defence grade (27th), and 67.9 pass-rush grade (22nd). Conner's 47 receptions allowed ranks third-fewest among all qualified cornerbacks.
