McDuffie is still dealing with a knee injury that he sustained in Kansas City’s Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he was able to take the last two weeks to recover and was a full participant in all of the Chiefs’ practice sessions this week.
Kansas City #Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie discusses quick turnaround on matchups vs.#Texans: ‘Retain the information’ | @EdEastonJr
Trent McDuffie previewed his upcoming showdown with Texans wide receiver Nico Collins. How did McDuffie fare in the first matchup?
Borgonzi’s tenure in Kansas City predates head coach Andy Reid’s hire in KC following the 2012 season. He joined the Chiefs in 2009 as college scouting administrator under then-general manager Scott Pioli.
Following their bye week, the Chiefs held regular practices to prepare for their matchup against the Texans.

Chris Jones and Charles Omenihu made their impacts known with a sack each. With Watson’s return in the secondary, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo could be more aggressive with the blitz. Spags drew it up and made it difficult for Stroud to make his mark when it mattered most.
The Chiefs recorded eight sacks and hit Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud six other times. George Karlaftis had three of the sacks.

With the Chiefs attempting an historic three-peat, Kelce loomed as a key weapon for Mahomes and Andy Reid and his efforts against the Texans show that he doesn't need a big volume
