Cleared to play Sunday Mathieu (concussion) will play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Bengals after having his injury designation removed ahead of the contest. Impact Mathieu was listed as a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday but headed into the weekend officially listed as questionable while awaiting clearance from NFL's concussion protocol. Sunday's announcement confirms Mathieu's availability against Cincinnati, which sets the stage for him to continue to serve as the Chiefs' starting strong safety. In 16 regular-season outings, the 29-year-old logged 76 tackles, three picks and a sack.
