Player Notes

G Kyle Long can come off injured reserve after missing over a month with a foot injury. Bears coach Matt Nagy said he is "cautiously optimistic" Long could return and play in this game with the Vikings. It would be a plus to get Long up and running in the offensive line blocking scheme before a playoff game.

WR Allen Robinson exited Sunday's win with an unspecified injury to his midsection and returned to complete the game.

CB Orlando Scandrick did not play Sunday night as a coach's decision after spending the first 14 games of the season as the team's nickel cornerback. Rookie Charvarius Ward claimed Scandrick's spot in the lineup and appears likely to play alongside starting corners Kendall Fuller and Steven Nelson in Week 17.

S Ron Parker was among the team's inactive players Sunday against Seattle. That marked the first game Parker missed in six seasons in six seasons with the Chiefs. Daniel Sorensen started alongside Eric Berry in the secondary with Jordan Lucas filling in as the dime safety.

LG Cam Erving was active but did not play against Seattle. Erving sat out the team's Week 15 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers, but was a full participant in practice during the week and did not carry a game status designation on the final injury report. Veteran Jeff Allen started at left guard for the second-straight game.

S Eric Berry played 69 of the team's 80 defensive snaps, but he sat out the team's final defensive stand as Seattle marched 75 yards in eight plays for the game-winning touchdown. The Chiefs have ramped up Berry's playing time over the last two games in preparation for full duty during the postseason.

CB Kendall Fuller did not play Sunday against Seattle after surgery last week for a thumb injury. He was scratched as a game-time decision with rookie Tremon Smith stepping into the lineup in his place. The Chiefs hope Fuller can return for the season finale against Oakland.

DE Bruce Irvin is getting more opportunities. He had a sack on Sunday and has 3.5 sacks since joining the Falcons, all in the last three games. Only Khalil Mack has more sacks during the month of December since 2016.

TE Austin Hooper came back after missing a game with a knee injury to catch two passes for 36 yards. Hooper was chosen as an alternate to the Pro Bowl.

LB Deion Jones led the team with 14 tackles (eight solo) and one forced fumble. Only two other players (Darius Leonard of Indianapolis and Anthony Hitchens of Kansas City) have two games with 14-plus tackles.
