JuJu Smith-Schuster among active players for Week 11
On Sunday afternoon, all eyes will be on Orchard Park.
Even in a loaded NFL slate with multiple matchups between true contenders, this week’s highlight for NFL fans is the Kansas City Chiefs’ scheduled visit to Orchard Park, New York, where they will take on the Buffalo Bills at the Highmark Stage.
This game is a big boost for the NFL, and CBS is lucky to have gotten the broadcast rights to the game. Not only does the game boast enormous star power – and perhaps the two best quarterbacks in the game today: Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen – but it also features two teams that will likely battle for the right to represent the AFC in the Super This year’s bowl. .
The Chiefs come to town as the only undefeated team in the National Football League this season. However, the Bills have won five straight with a red-hot offense that has scored no fewer than 30 points in one game in the past month. Both teams are deep and have few problem areas on the roster. They are also well supervised.
What could make the difference in this encounter are the players who won’t can adapt. The Chiefs have already ruled out running back Isiah Pacheco for the day, as well as pass rusher Charles Omenihu. That doesn’t include numerous losses on IR, ranging from the team’s top two wideouts in Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown to starting corner Jaylen Watson.
The Bills have their own laundry list of injuries. Rookie wideout Keon Coleman is out on the offensive side, along with starting tight end Dalton Kincaid. Linebacker Matt Milano will also miss the game, and anyone who watched his previous performances against KC knows how greatly his absence will be felt.
As far as players on the fence go, the wideouts will be the ones to watch. Will Amari Cooper be healthy enough to play despite the questionable name for Week 11? Will JuJu Smith-Schuster suit up for the Chiefs for the first time in a month? The latter is at least active and expected to play, so that’s a positive sign.
