Good to go Christmas Day

Taylor (knee) is active for Wednesday's Week 17 game against Pittsburgh. Taylor had been questionable heading into Wednesday after straining his knee Saturday against Houston, but the right tackle is going to be able to play. However, the Chiefs' offensive line will still be down a starter, with left tackle D.J. Humphries (hamstring) out for a third straight contest.
Questionable to suit up Wednesday

Taylor (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Week 17 matchup against the Steelers. Taylor strained his knee last Saturday against the Texans and was estimated as a limited participant in practice throughout this week. If he can't play Wednesday, Ethan Driskell or Wanya Morris could be asked to start at right tackle for the Chiefs.
Diagnosed with strained knee

Coach Andy Reid said Taylor suffered a strained knee in Saturday's win over the Texans, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Taylor will have just four days to get ready for next Wednesday's Christmas Day date with the Steelers. Rookie Kingsley Suamataia replaced Taylor at right tackle against Houston and would be the logical choice to fill in there next week if Taylor can't play.
Injures knee Saturday

Taylor (knee) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Texans. Taylor's injury adds to Kansas City's woes along the offensive line. Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia, both of whom had chances to start at left tackle but were benched earlier this season, are the top candidates to play right tackle if Taylor doesn't return.
Returns Monday

Taylor (shoulder) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. The 2019 second-round pick has been battling a shoulder injury since the mid-August, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Now that Taylor has returned to full health, he's projected to start at right tackle for the second consecutive season in 2024.
Suffers shoulder injury

Taylor suffered a shoulder injury Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Taylor was carted off the field during practice and is now dealing with a shoulder injury. While the injury is not thought to be serious, Lucas Niang will likely fill in at right tackle if Taylor ends up missing extended time.
