The Kansas City Chiefs' defense played a huge part in defeating the Houston Texans during the divisional round on Saturday. One of the players who led the way was cornerback Trent McDuffie, who was named an All-Pro in 2024 for the second consecutive year.

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.

Following their bye week, the Chiefs held regular practices to prepare for their matchup against the Texans. On the weekend, Texans Wire reporter Cole Thompson released the final injury report for both teams, showing that Kansas City’s roster is largely healthy—aside from wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who is listed as "doubtful."
