Reid expects Bowe and Hali to play on Sunday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe missed the entire practice week because of flu symptoms while linebacker Tamba Hali sat out on Friday for the second straight day because of a sore knee.

 Bowe and Hali were listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the final injury report of the week. But coach Andy Reid said he expected both players to be available to play.

Bowe leads the Chiefs’ wide receivers in catches (51) and yards (667). He hasn’t worked since last Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders.

“He’s taking in some fluids and trying to maintain those fluids,’’ Reid said. “We’ll just see how he does. He is making improvement.

“I think he’s going to be ready to play.’’

The Chiefs practiced indoors on artificial turf for the second straight day because of snow on the practice field. Hali worked on Wednesday when the Chiefs practiced outdoors and on grass.

Reid said Hali didn’t practice on the artificial turf as a precaution, but that he would play against the Steelers.

Hali is second on the Chiefs with six sacks. He had one of his best games of the season last week with a sack and four quarterback pressures.

The Chiefs have 10 other players on their injury report, but they were all listed as probable for Sunday’s game. This group includes running back Jamaal Charles (knee and ankle).
