Chiefs' McKinnon questionable for Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon is questionable for Super Bowl LVIII after being activated off injured reserve Saturday.

McKinnon hasn't played since the team's Week 15 win over the New England Patriots due to a groin injury.

The 31-year-old tailback scored five total touchdowns in 12 regular-season games this season. The majority of his production came through the air, including four of his scores. He had 25 receptions for 192 yards.

All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, whom the Chiefs ruled out earlier in the week, was officially placed on injured reserve to make room on the roster for McKinnon. Nick Allegretti is expected to start in Thuney's place.

Kansas City also elevated defensive tackle Mike Pennel from the practice squad for the matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Pennel appeared in three games with the Chiefs during the 2023 campaign.
