Maclin (concussion) is expected to practice Friday and play in Sunday's game against the Steelers, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the Chiefs believe he'll pass through the NFL's concussion protocol Friday morning, which would allow him to get in one practice before Sunday's game. If Maclin does indeed play, he could see even more targets than usual, with the Jamal Charles-less Chiefs facing a Pittsburgh defense that's far better at defending the run than the pass.
