Insider says Chris Jones rejoined Chiefs, expected to play vs. Falcons

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, star DL Chris Jones has rejoined the Chiefs in Atlanta and is expected to play against the Falcons on Sunday.

NFL insider Adam Schefter has revealed that star defensive lineman Chris Jones has officially rejoined the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a wire report. Jones' return comes after a peculiar travel situation during Week 10, and he is anticipated to participate in the Chiefs' upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday.

The news of Jones' reunion with his teammates emerged following Kansas City's inclusion of the former Mississippi State Bulldog on its injury report on Saturday. The team announced that Jones would not accompany the Chiefs to Atlanta but would arrive on his own distinct itinerary. Adam Schefter shared this update on November 14 via his official Twitter account.

Kansas City initially described Jones' addition to the Week 10 injury report as personal and unrelated to injuries, leaving the reason for this decision unclear.
