The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have completed their final practices before they square off in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
Each team has released their final injury reports for the big game. The Chiefs couldn’t ask to be in better position health wise, especially considering how beat up they were earlier in the season.
Let’s examine both team’s final injury reports for the Super Bowl. . .

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations:
It doesn’t appear that Moore will be activated off of injured reserve and play in this game after logging three limited practices this week. Even if he would have practiced in full, Moore wouldn’t really factor into the Chiefs’ gameplan.
Araiza reportedly came down with an illness on Thursday, but he logged a full practice, and did so again on Friday. He doesn’t have a game designation for Sunday, so he’ll be good to go barring a setback.
Mahomes and Taylor have been on the injury report over the last few weeks as pretty much a formality. They will be full-go on Sunday.

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations:
Despite not logging a single full practice this week, Smith carries no injury designation going into Sunday. The Eagles were likely being very precautionary with him as he is a vital part of their passing attack.
Graham is listed as questionable, but it seems likely that he’ll try to give it a go as this could be his last game before calling it a career.
Gates popped up on the injury report yesterday with a groin. He could be a game-time decision for Philadelphia on Sunday.
