Chiefs WR Tireek Hill clears COVID-19 protocols expected to play against Steelers

The Kansas City Chiefs receiver cleared COVID-19 protocols, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday, and is expected to play against Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Hill was placed on the reserve / COVID-19 list on Tuesday along with many other Chiefs players. Kansas City is still waiting for the return of the tight-lipped Travis Kelce, among others. Kelce has not yet been identified, Rapoport reports, and is still on the reserve / COVID-19 list.

Kansas City can win the AFC West championship on Sunday with a win and a Los Angeles Chargers loss or draw and can simply win a playoff spot. At least the Chiefs have Hill with them when they try to do so.
