Maclin is undergoing an MRI on Sunday on both his knee and ankle.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin's status for next Saturday's game against the Patriots thus remains unclear, though it's worth noting that coach Andy Reid indicated Sunday that the pain the wideout is feeling at this time is more in his ankle area. ESPN.com previously described Maclin's injury as a strained knee.

Maclin has been diagnosed with a strained knee and will undergo an MRI on Sunday, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin was carted off the field in the third quarter of Saturday's win at Houston and was ruled out shortly thereafter. The diagnosis of a strain implies that he has some ligament damage in his right knee, but the MRI will clarify the extent of any injury.

Maclin was carted off the field during Saturday's Wild Card game in Houston and quickly ruled out with a knee injury, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

After his leg was tangled up on a third-quarter reception, Maclin immediately grabbed his right knee and remained on the field for some time. Because the knee was the same one in which he tore his ACL during training camp 2013, the diagnosis will be of utmost interest for the Chiefs' playoff hopes going forward, assuming they are able to put away the Texans.

Maclin (hip) is active for Saturday's Wild Card contest at Houston, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin cleared up any question about his ability to play in the first round with back-to-back full practices to end the week. In a Week 1 matchup with the Texans, he corralled five of nine balls for 52 yards. However, he's picked up a healthy share of the red-zone targets as his first season with the Chiefs proceeded, earning 28.3 percent of such looks.

Maclin (hip) is listed as probable for Saturday's playoff game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin completed the entirety of Thursday's practice session, which has him slated to play through any hip discomfort in Saturday's postseason contest.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin's full practice participation Thursday puts him on track to draw a probable injury designation in advance of Saturday's playoff opener against the Texans.

Maclin, who missed practice Tuesday due to a sore hip, returned to the field for Wednesday's session, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin's return to practice Wednesday puts him on track to be available for Saturday's playoff opener on the road against the Texans, in the absence of any setbacks as the week rolls along.

Maclin will not practice Tuesday due to a bruised hip, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although the injury doesn't sound too serious, it's mildly concerning that Maclin will be a non-participant at Tuesday's practice. Few wide receivers are more important to their teams, as the talent gap between Maclin and his position-mates in Kansas City is massive. In the unlikely event he misses Saturday's game in Houston, the Chiefs would need to massively overhaul their usual gameplan, with Albert Wilson, Travis Kelce, Charcandrick West, Jason Avant and Chris Conley all candidates to take on increased targets.

Maclin caught three of four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin caught a 25-yard touchdown early in the first quarter, but was quiet after that, as the Chiefs went to a conservative game plan. After a cold stretch in the middle part of the season, Maclin has been strong over the last six games, catching 39 of 51 targets for 476 yards and six touchdowns. Although Maclin wasn't quite able to match his career-high numbers from 2014, he still established a personal best with 87 receptions, and that came on 19 fewer targets. He and the Chiefs will head into the postseason on a roll, winners of a franchise-record 10 straight games, so there is some upside to drafting him, assuming you're participating in a playoff league.

Maclin had five catches on seven targets for a team-high 49 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Maclin now sits at 1,034 yards in 14 games this season after piling up 1,318 last season for the Eagles. He continues to be a trusted receiver for quarterback Alex Smith, with Sunday's score his seventh of the season. Up next is a Week 17 home game against the Raiders, and win could help the Chiefs win the AFC West, depending on how the Broncos do in their final two games.
