The Facts: COVID-19 issues continue to affect the AFC-leading Kansas City Chiefs. K.C. is expected to place Hill, cornerback Rashad Fenton and tight end Blake Bell on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, NFL Network Tom Pelissero reports, per a source informed of the move.
Diehards Line:
The news comes a day after the Chiefs put star tight end Travis Kelce, kicker Harrison Butker and defensive back Charvarius Ward on the COVID-19 list. The status for each player is unclear at this stage of the week as the Chiefs prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. While both could be cleared in time to play, the potential to be without Hill and Kelce versus the Steelers defense would be massive for Patrick Mahomes and the 10-4 Chiefs, who lead the conference by a game and hold a two-win advantage in the AFC West.
