KADARIUS TONEY NEWS

Minimal role in return Toney (hamstring) brought in his only target for five yards and returned two punts for eight yards in the Chiefs' 30-24 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Toney was able to suit up for the first time since Week 11, but as his numbers indicate, he had a very minor role on an afternoon when Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jerick McKinnon absorbed the majority of Patrick Mahomes' pass attempts. Toney at least appeared to make it through the contest unscathed, so he'll have an opportunity for a bigger impact in a Week 16 home matchup against the Seahawks on Saturday afternoon.

Wecome back: Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney available to play vs. Texans Sunday The Chiefs have some help available at the wide receiver position with Kadarius Toney making his return.

Suits up Sunday Toney (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Toney was limited at practice this past week, but he'll give it go Sunday, which will mark his first game appearance since injuring his hamstring during Week 11 action. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still not available, Toney has a chance to claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 15 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but until the 2021 first-rounder gets a full and productive game in, he'll profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Trending in positive direction Toney (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is trending toward playing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Toney practiced in a limited fashion all week, setting the stage for a return from his three-game absence. The 2020 first-round pick had a similar type of practice involvement last week before surprisingly being ruled out one day in advance of the Chiefs' win over the Broncos, but given this latest report, Toney seems likely to be ready to go come Sunday. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having not been activated from injured reserve this week, Toney could push Justin Watson and Skyy Moore for the No. 3 receiver role behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Questionable against Texans Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Toney was limited in all three of Kansas City's practices throughout the week. If Toney's given the green light in Houston, he would likely slide into the No. 3 wide receiver role behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as Mecole Hardman (abdomen) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve in Week 15.

Limited in practice Thursday Toney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Toney maintained the same level of practice activity from Wednesday, but because he's missed the past three games with the hamstring injury, he'll most likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game at Houston. If available this weekend, Toney could have to vie with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) for the No. 3 receiver role. Hardman has been sidelined for the past four games, but he resumed practicing Wednesday and could be ready to return to the active roster Sunday.

Limited practice Wednesday Toney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Toney's practice workload should be monitored over Thursday and Friday, as an escalation in his practice level would provide more reassurance yet about his expected return to the field against Houston on Sunday. The general expectation remains that Toney will play in Week 15, which would mark his first appearance since Week 11.

Eyeing Week 15 return Toney (hamstring), whom the Chiefs ruled out for Sunday's game at Denver, is likely to return to action Week 15 against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Toney will end up missing his third consecutive game this weekend, but he's at least demonstrated some meaningful progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury in recent days. After failing to practice in any fashion in Weeks 12 and 13, Toney was on the field as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday and was initially listed as questionable for the game against the Broncos before later being downgraded to out Saturday. The Chiefs presumably want to see Toney put in a full practice before clearing him for game action, so his continued absence for one more game should open up more work for Justin Watson and Skyy Moore in three-receiver sets alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Unavailable Sunday Toney (hamstring) has been downgraded from questionable to out and won't play Sunday against the Broncos.

Impact Toney was a limited participant in practice all week, but the 2021 first-round pick was evidently unable to shake off a balky hamstring in Saturday's workout and thus will remain out for a third consecutive game. Expect both Skyy Moore and Justin Watson to continue seeing additional snaps in Toney's absence.

Questionable for Week 14 Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Toney was limited in practice throughout the week after missing Kansas City's last two games with the hamstring injury. If he suits up Sunday, Toney could be eased back in with a limited workload against the stout Denver secondary to avoid another setback with his frequently injured hamstring.

Logs another limited practice Toney (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Back-to-back limited practice sessions have Toney trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. If Toney is able to return from a two-game absence this weekend, the 2021 first-rounder could claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 14 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still on IR.

Back at practice Toney (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Toney, who has missed two straight games, didn't practice last week, so the wideout's limited session Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. If Toney is able to suit up this weekend, he could step into a key role in Kansas City's passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, given that Mecole Hardman (abdomen) remains on injured reserve ahead of Week 14 action.

In line to practice Wednesday Toney (hamstring) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toney last suited up Week 11, but the wideout's looming return to practice has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Once Toney is up to speed, he'll have a chance to claim key role in Kansas City's offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, especially while Mecole Hardman (abdomen) remains on injured reserve.

Sidelined again Sunday Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

Impact Since picking up a hamstring injury during the first half of the Chiefs' Week 11 road win against the Chargers, Toney hasn't been unable to practice and now will miss a second consecutive game. He'll set his sights on returning to action Sunday, Dec. 11 at Denver, but in the meantime JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will serve as Kansas City's top wide receivers, with Justin Watson and Skyy Moore available for any wide receiver reps that linger.
