As the Kansas City Chiefs prep for playoffs, wide receiver Tyreek Hill was spotted at practice today alongside Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darell Williams.
The Chiefs saw a spectacular finish to the regular season, ending the NFL’s first 17-game season with a 12-5 record.
Players like Tyreek Hill, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darell Williams have all been battling injuries, but their presence at Wednesday practice indicates that the Super Wild Card Weekend win could easily go to a dominant Chiefs squad.

Looks to me like Tyreek Hill’s heel is good to go. Injury report later. pic.twitter.com/JUARQrsopi

Chiefs regain key starters in preparation for Super Wild Card Weekend
After Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, Hill, Edwards-Helaire and Williams all reported various injuries. Hill is battling a heel injury, Edwards-Helaire is “making progress” in a shoulder injury, and Williams is dealing with a toe injury.
Head coach Andy Reid has said throughout this week that he believes both Williams and Hill will be ready to play come Sunday, and the presence of Edwards-Helaire at practice indicates a promising recovery.
After dealing with an overwhelming COVID-19 outbreak and injuring several offensive starters, the Chiefs are heading into Sunday’s matchup with a relatively healthy group offering quarterback Patrick Mahomes plenty of options.
Both Hill and Williams have proven to be invaluable this season, with each tallying up more than 1,000 receiving yards and eight touchdowns for a distinct team statistic.
The Chiefs were the only team in the NFL this season to feature three players who each tallied 1,000+ yards from scrimmage and 8+ touchdowns:

Tyreek Hill: 1,335 yards and 9 TDs
Travis Kelce: 1,128 yards and 10 TDs
Darrel Williams: 1,010 yards and 8 TDs
Eve though Hill played through the Broncos’ game hurt, the second-highest graded Chiefs player by PFF could see a healthy return against the Steelers this weekend.
