Some notes

  • The Chiefs are only listing two players out for the game: linebacker Nick Bolton (ankle) and cornerback Jaylen Watson (shoulder). This will mark the second straight game that Bolton has missed.
  • On Friday (in the locker room), safety Justin Reid spoke about linebacker Drue Tranquill and rookie cornerback Nic Jones — the two players who are likely to replace Bolton and Watson, respectively. It would be the first NFL game for which Jones has been active.
  • Reid on Tranquill: “Drue’s a very cerebral guy — smart, athletic, knows how to make all the checks and calls. We miss Nick, but Drue’s coming in and showing his value in signing with us to come in and play as well.”
  • Reid on Jones: “[He’s] humble and hungry, man. This is an opportunity for everybody. It’s important that we build the depth, and this is going to be valuable experience for him to come in and get an opportunity to play. Whoever goes out there on the field, at the point you step between the white lines, you’re a starter. So you’re going to be expected to know what to do, and we have confidence in him knowing what to do. We’re going to have veterans around him to help him out, too — make sure we put him in a good position to succeed.”
  • Even though tight end Noah Gray (illness) missed two practices this week — and defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) were limited — all three are expected to be in the lineup against the Jets.
  • Jets’ free safety Tony Adams (hamstring) suffered his injury in Week 2 and missed last week’s game. He did not participate in all of this week’s practices and has been listed as out for Sunday’s game. The same is true for reserve offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer.
