The Chiefs are getting healthy at the right time
The Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome a key player back to their defence as they gear up for what they hope will be a long playoff run.
According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, the Chiefs are designating CB Jaylen Watson to return to practice, and he is expected to be on the field Friday.
The move means Watson’s 21-day practice window is now open and the Chiefs have until January 24 to activate him to the 53-man roster from injured reserve.
The cornerback has been on injured reserve since Week 8 after he sustained a broken fibula during the team’s win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid hinted at Watson’s return earlier in the week when he spoke to the media on Monday.
“There’s a chance with Mecole (Hardman) and potentially (Jaylen) Watson,” Reid said. “I mean, potentially, you know, that would be stretching it, the whole thing.”
Watson news is a boost for the Chiefs
Kansas City’s move to open Watson’s practice window means the 26-year-old will have a little over two weeks to prepare for the Chiefs’ divisional playoff game since they have a first round bye.

The Chiefs can also opt to keep him on injured reserve for the divisional round, though he would have to be activated before the AFC Championship Game should KC advance to the game.
Watson has been working hard in order to return to the field as he began running back in early December.

Before his injury he was playing at a Pro Bowl level, amassing 32 total tackles, six passes defended and an interception in six games for the Chiefs.
His return would provide a huge boost for KC in their pursuit for a third-straight Super Bowl, as few teams are able to field a cornerback pairing of Watson and Trent McDuffie, who starts on the opposite side.
Phoenix Suns Shock Everybody By Sending Superstar Kevin Durant To NBA Heavyweight In Blockbuster Trade Proposal

A blockbuster trade proposal has the Phoenix Suns setting off fireworks across the NBA by dealing superstar Kevin Durant to a Western Conference juggernaut.
There’s no indication that the Suns are open to dealing Kevin Durant, or that the future Hall of Famer wants out. But the fact remains that Phoenix has one playoff series win in the KD era, and at 12-8 through 20 games, they don’t exactly resemble a championship contender.
If the Suns decide to shake up their All-Star core, Durant has to be the odd man out. Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere, and veteran guard Bradley Beal might have the most untradeable contract in the NBA.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World proposed a mammoth trade idea that has Phoenix sending Kevin Durant back to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton and first-round picks in 2026 and 2029:
“The chemistry between Durant and Curry is unmatched, with the two feeding off each other’s strengths to devastate opposing defenses. If Durant’s time in Phoenix shows signs of stagnating, he could be motivated to initiate a trade to the Warriors—a team he knows will be ready to compete the moment he steps on the floor…
Most importantly, Durant’s departure could also allow Booker to further solidify his role as the franchise player, with Beal supporting him as an experienced scorer who has made the playoffs multiple times. The return for Durant would bring in a mix of young talent and future draft picks, potentially giving the Suns a balanced roster that can grow and adapt as Booker and Beal enter their prime. “
