NFL Playoffs: Notable Injury Updates For Bills-Chiefs, Bucs-Packers

Injuries continue to impact the NFL playoffs.

The four teams playing in Sunday’s conference championships will be near full strength, but multiple players will be forced to wear street clothes as their teams fight to play in Super Bowl LV.

Helaire missed last week’s action with ankle and hip injuries. The status of receiver Sammy Watkins was less clear Sunday morning.

As for the NFC Championship Game, Buccaneers wideout Antonio Brown will be inactive when Tampa Bay visits the Green Bay Packers, as will safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
