Avant (hip) played just nine snaps in Thursday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Avant has been listed on the injury report with a hip issue, but his full participation in practice this week likely indicates that's not the reason he's barely playing. The Chiefs tend to employ many heavy sets with multiple tight ends, and the Chiefs seem set to give De'Anthony Thomas more snaps. Both of theses factors will likely limit Avant's playing time on Sundays.
