Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: 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.

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.
