The status of Kansas City Chiefs star defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, who is in the league's concussion protocol, is of the utmost importance to the team ahead of their AFC Championship game clash with the Cincinnati Bengals. Mathieu was forced to miss the remainder of the team's Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills with a concussion- and his absence proved to be a huge loss, as the Bills were able to find big chunks of passing yardage down the field against Kansas City. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to reporters on Friday and provided an update on Mathieu's status while the star continues to work through the concussion protocol ahead of the Bengals clash.
Andy Reid said Tyrann Mathieu is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, although he did participate in today's practice.
"We think he'll be ready to roll," Reid said of Mathieu.

That's a big update from Reid on Tyrann Mathieu's concussion and his status for the Chiefs-Bengals showdown. The Chiefs are optimistic about Mathieu's status, and it sounds like the Honey Badger has a great shot of suiting up for the AFC title game.
This is a great sign for the Chiefs defense, as they are preparing to face off against one of the league's more deadly passing attacks in the Bengals, led by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase.
The Chiefs' outlook for the Bengals game just got even brighter after this update on Tyrann Mathieu.
