Thuney Unlikely to Play
All-Pro LG Thuney was injured late in Kansas City’s NFL Divisional Round victory at Buffalo. He’s been unable to practice this week and indications are that he won’t be able to play Sunday against the Ravens.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle) stated confidently this week that he’ll be playing on Sunday. That’s important, because KC RB Jerick McKinnon (groin) is on IR.

However, x-rays of Gay’s neck came back negative and he’s also expected to play Sunday.
Ravens Hopeful of Andrews Return
Andrews has been a full participant in practice this week. His three-week window to be activated from IR opened on January 12.
Watching Marlon Humphrey lead the DBs in drills, looking ready to go, is obviously huge for the Ravens. He left injured in the Miami game, hasn’t played since.

Humphrey missed last week’s win over Houston with his calf injury. He’s been limited in practice this week but is vowing to do whatever he can to play against the Chiefs.

How Could Injuries Affect Chiefs vs Ravens Betting Lines?
The loss of Thuney could truly impact Kansas City’s offensive line. A First Team All-Pro selection this season, Thuney has been selected to each of the past two Pro Bowl games. His pass block win rate of 99.1% is leading all NFL OL this season.
If Thuney can’t go, Nick Allegretti will step in at LG. He’s started 13 games during five seasons with the Chiefs, including one game this season.
If Pacheco, KC’s leading rusher, is slowed by his injury, look for RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire to take on a larger backfield role, which might be something to ponder in the Chiefs vs Ravens player props.
Another uncertain starter for KC is NT Derrick Nnadi (triceps). He was out last week at Buffalo and has been unable to practice this week.
Andrews hasn’t played since suffering his injury in Week 11 injury against Cincinnati. In his absence, Isaiah Likely has caught five TD passes over six games. Likely snared two passes for 34 yards and a TD in the playoff win over Houston.
