Maclin has been resting his injured ankle all week, according to Jeff Darlington, but hoped to test it out Saturday morning to see how it felt.

Even if Jeremy Maclin suits up for the Chiefs for today’s Divisional round matchup against the Patriots, his impact could be limited. Many Chiefs fans felt the easier road for the team would be playing at Denver this week since the last experience the Chiefs had in Denver was a rout of the Broncos back on Sunday, Nov. 15th. Morse suffered head trauma in the second half of the regular-season finale against Oakland. He returned to play in last week’s playoff game against the Texans. But he was working off to the side and not participating in drills with the other wide receivers. He missed the season’s final five games because of a hyper-extended knee.
After battling through an ankle injury all week leading up to this one, Maclin is indeed active for the Chiefs and will be on the field to try and help them advance to the AFC Championship Game. Without him – or if he’s limited – coach Andy Reid’s offense becomes much easier to defend.

Tune in to Patriots-Chiefs Saturday night on 98.5 The Sports Hub and WBZ-TV – the flagship stations of the New England Patriots. I feel when this playoff game is done the team from MO with a lot of MO mentum will be the talk of the league after another playoff victory on the road.
