Chamarri Conner's injury update
According to Rotowire, Chamarri Conner did not participate in the Chiefs' Monday training session. The cornerback is still dealing with a concussion sustained in Week 15 and hasn't been cleared to return.
Conner missed the Houston Texans game in Week 16 because of a head injury. Plus, he's likely to miss Week 17 due to the close nature of the games.
Jack Cochrane's injury update
According to CBS Sports, Jack Cochrane has been placed on the injured reserve. The linebacker is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered against the Houston Texans.
Cochrane's addition to the injured reserve spells the end of his regular season. Any player added to the IR must miss at least four games. Hence, the Chiefs must make another deep postseason run for the LB to feature this season.
Jawaan Taylor's injury update
According to Yardbreaker, Jawaan Taylor was a limited participant in Monday's practice session. The offensive tackle left the Texans game early due to a knee injury.
Hence, his presence at the Chiefs' practice session will be a major relief for Andy Reid's team. Taylor is a key member of the Chief's offensive line and will be counted upon during the team's hunt for a third consecutive Super Bowl.
