The Kansas City Chiefs have already grabbed their second straight playoff berth behind an AFC West division title.
Although the team is leaning toward resting players for the matchup given that situation, wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been declared out for the contest due to a death in his family, according to Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star.
Wide receiver/return specialist Tyreek Hill was listed as out by the Chiefs because of a death in his family.

The time away from the team will allow for Hill to grieve with his family with the huge loss. He had already not practiced on Friday with the team due to the personal matter.
The 23-year-old had put together another productive campaign with 75 receptions for 1,183 yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He was also a significant factor as a punt returner averaging 8.2 yards per punt return with one touchdown that helped him earn a Pro Bowl selection as a return specialist along with being an alternate as a wide receiver.
In his first two seasons in the league, Hill has proven to be a dynamic talent with his elusive speed and playmaking ability. He will likely figure to be a key part of the Chiefs' offensive game plan heading into the playoffs.
