Nelson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to a foot injury that knocked him out of Houston's Week 14 loss to Dallas. Derek Stingley (hamstring) is also out, leaving Tavierre Thomas, Desmond King and Tremon Smith as the top cornerbacks against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's high-powered offense.
