The Facts: Asked about the status of Taylor, who has missed two games because of a hip injury, Childress said: "I'd like to think Chester can get back this week. He did some things pregame [Sunday]. I just didn't feel like he was quite there and that he could be viable. ... I'll have to see on Wednesday when I see him take the field."

Diehards Line:Sounds like Taylor is indeed close to return and -- with Adrian Peterson having some pass-protection issues in Kansas City -- a veteran presence in the backfield could be useful.
