  • In injury reports of Cincinnati Bengals vs Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC Conference Championship Game, Bengals are hurting along the OL and Chiefs are hurting at catcher
  • Three Cincinnati offensive line starters are out
  • TE Travis Kelce and WR Mecole Hardman and Justin Watson are questionable for Kansas City

In the run-up to the AFC Championship Game between the Cincinnati Bengals (14-4, 13-5 ATS) and the Kansas City Chiefs (15-3, 6-11-1 ATS), all attention was focused on the Chiefs quarterback’s ankle Patrick Mahomes.

Obviously that’s no longer a problem. Mahomes does not have a designation in the final injury reports for the game. However, the Chiefs are showing All-Pro TE Travis Kelce as questionable, as are two of the club’s wide receivers.

In Cincinnati, concerns revolve around the offensive line. Three starters are out for the Bengals. However, they were also out for Cincinnati’s Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills and it didn’t seem to matter as the Bengals cruised to a decisive 27-10 victory.

The Bengals vs Chiefs public betting splits are going with Cincinnati. Both spread and moneyline management and betting are supporting the Bengals. People like the over 48 point total. The game is broadcast on CBS. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM ET at Arrowhead Stadium’s GEHA Field on Sunday, January 29.

Cincinnati Bengals injury report

The Bengals will again be without RG Alex Cappa (ankle) and LT Jonah Williams (knee). Also, RT starting La’el Collins (knee) has spent the last month on IR.

However, against the Bills, the depleted offensive front allowed only one sack. However, the Chiefs are second in the NFL this season with 57 sacks. Kansas City sacked Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence twice during the Chiefs’ 27-20 Divisional Round win over the Jaguars.

Other than OL, the only other injury concern for the Bengals is backup SS Brandon Wilson. He is out with a knee injury.

Kansas City Chiefs Injury Report

Kelce suffered back spasms on Friday. She led all NFL TEs this season during the regular season in receptions (110), receiving yards (1338) and touchdown catches (12). However, the last word from the KC field is that Kelce will play on Sunday.

Wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) has been limited in practice this week. He has missed the last nine games. WR Justin Watson (illness) has not trained this week. Both wideouts are listed as questionable.

Watson and Hardman are also part of Kansas City’s punt return depth. That role has been taken by WR Kadarius Toney since he came in a trade from the New York Giants.

Kansas City is listed as a 1.5-point home favorite. Cincinnati is among the best bets against the NFL spread this season. The Bengals are 8-2 ATS on the road this season.

There has been a huge movement in the line since the Conference Championship opening odds first fell. The Chiefs started with a 2.5-point pick. Concerns about Mahomes’ status have him swinging around the Cincinnati -1.5. Now he’s back at the hometown bosses like chalk with proof that Mahomes will be okay.

How could injuries affect the Bengals vs Chiefs lines?

As a precaution against any game issues involving Kelce, the Chiefs have elevated TE Jody Fortson from IR to the active roster. Fortson caught two TD passes in limited action this season. They also signed RB La’Mical Perine to the practice squad.

Kelce is money in terms of stat accumulation, so his status could definitely impact any play in the Bengals vs Chiefs player props.

Hardman has played in just eight games, including five as a starter, so it’s hard to make a strong case that Kansas City’s offense lacks him. Mahomes has been a full participant in training for the past three days, so it would appear his ankle ailment is a thing of the past.

Cincinnati starting center Ted Karras is nursing a knee injury. However, the two-time Super Bowl winner with the New England Patriots has been a full-time workout all week. Similarly, TE starter Hayden Hurst (calf) has been removed from any injury designation.
