Josh Allen's Status Uncertain as Bills Face Chiefs; Stefon Diggs Active
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to face the Denver Broncos, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that first-round pick Josh Simmons is expected to return to practice this week after tending to a personal matter in California. Simmons has not played since Week 5. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receiver Chris Godwin and running back Bucky Irving remain sidelined with unclear return timelines. Godwin has missed four games with a fibula injury, and Irving has missed five with shoulder and toe injuries. Edge rusher Haason Reddick is also uncertain for Week 11 due to knee and ankle injuries. In other backfield news, the New York Giants' Tyrone Tracy reclaimed the lead back role, outcarrying Devin Singletary 14 to 8 with 71 yards. Conversely, Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift outperformed rookie Kyle Monangai in a Week 10 win, dominating snap share (61% to 39%), carry share (62% to 33%), and route rate (56% to 39%) in his return from a groin injury. The Cincinnati Bengals have opened a 21-day injury window for quarterback Joe Burrow, who has been out since Week 2 with turf toe, signaling a potential return to practice. The Houston Texans' C.J. Stroud remains in concussion protocol, with his status for Week 11 uncertain, while safety M.J. Stewart will miss the rest of the season with a quad injury. Right tackle Tytus Howard and safety Jalen Pitre are also in concussion protocol.
