Chiefs' Peter Woods misses practice with a neck injury; Jets' Garrett Wilson in concussion protocol before Sunday.
According to Arrowhead Pride, citing the Chiefs' official report, Woods did not practice after being hurt in the Week 8 loss, though he left the field without stopping play. Wilson entered concussion protocol after a helmet-to-helmet hit and has 527 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season. Starting running back Breece Hall has been on injured reserve since Week 3 but could return this week, according to reports.

No. 2 in the 30-second version
Chiefs say Harrison Butker remains their kicker, with Justin Tucker kept on the practice squad.
Andy Reid told the Kansas City Star's Pete Sweeney there would be no change, according to Arrowhead Pride, after Butker missed a 54-yard field goal in the loss to Denver. Butker is 12-for-18 on field goals this year, and Tucker, a former All-Pro, impressed in a tryout but will stay with the reserves for at least another week. Reid also said there is a good chance left guard Kingsley Suamataia returns after being benched in the Week 8 loss to Denver.
