TAMPA, Fla. — The Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will head into the Super Bowl on Sunday relatively healthy.

The Chiefs ruled out left tackle Eric Fisher because of a torn Achilles tendon and linebacker Willie Gay Jr. because of knee and ankle injuries, but neither of them was expected to play. Tampa Bay did not list anybody as out on the final injury report.

Buccaneers receiver Antonio Brown, who missed the NFC championship game because of a knee injury, was a full practice participant again Friday and could play in his second Super Bowl, a decade after losing as a rookie with Pittsburgh against Green Bay.

Brown and tight end Cameron Brate are questionable. Brate didn’t practice Friday, a day after Coach Bruce Arians said he injured his back.

The only Chiefs player listed as questionable is wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who has not played since sustaining a calf injury in Week 16 against Atlanta. Watkins has practiced in a limited capacity for several weeks, though, and he nearly played in the AFC championship game against Buffalo before deciding in warm-ups to sit it out.

“He did good. I’m encouraged to have him on Sunday,” Chiefs Coach Andy Reid said. “I think he’ll be there.”

Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson did not practice Friday because of an illness. The defending champions are also waiting on the status of wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and backup center Daniel Kilgore, both of whom landed on the COVID-19 list as close contacts of the team barber; they could play if they continue to return negative tests.

Tampa Bay linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh also did not practice, though both are expected to play. Pierre-Paul has been nursing a knee injury, but it’s been part of the routine for both Pierre-Paul and Suh to take a veteran’s day off on Friday.

CHIEFS ASSISTANT coach Britt Reid, the son of Andy Reid, was involved in a multi-vehicle crash late Thursday that injured two young children near the team’s training complex adjacent to Arrowhead Stadium.

According to police in Kansas City, Missouri, the crash occurred about 9 p.m. on Interstate 435. A vehicle had run out of gas and called for help on the entrance ramp to the highway, and another vehicle parked nearby to assist them. Reid’s pickup truck struck the left front of the first car before hitting the rear of the second car.

Two children in the second car, ages 5 and 4, were taken to the hospital. Their status was not immediately available.

Local television station KSHB reported that Reid told an officer on the scene he had “two or three drinks,” according to a search warrant filed just before midnight.

The team confirmed that Reid was involved in an accident, and a person familiar with the decision said he would not coach in the Super Bowl.

PATRIOTS: It looks like the Patriots could end up receiving a big boost on both sides of the ball next season.

Last summer, the team took a hit with an NFL-high eight opt outs because of COVID-19. The list was headlined by linebacker Dont’a Hightower, safety Patrick Chung, tackle Marcus Cannon and running back Brandon Bolden.

According to Devin McCourty, who spoke on the NBC Sports’ Patriots Talk Podcast on Friday, all eight players intend to play in 2021.

“From my understanding, they’ll all be back,” McCourty said. “B. Bolden, High, Chung. So, I can’t wait. … I just can’t wait to be back around those guys. Even outside of football, seeing them every day, seeing their nice faces.”

The absence of those opt outs, which also included fullback Danny Vitale, wide receiver Marqise Lee, tight end Matt LaCosse and guard Najee Toran, can’t be understated.

Hightower, 30, was coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2019, and his absence left a void the Patriots couldn’t replace. Chung, a 33-year-old strong safety, would help against the run and with coverage of tight ends.

The addition of Cannon, 32, would be another boost. He was the starting right tackle from 2016-19. If Cannon comes back, the Patriots could move rookie Michael Onwenu back to guard as a potential replacement for Joe Thuney, who’s a free agent.

Bolden would add depth at running back and on special teams. LaCosse likely would’ve been the Patriots’ starting tight end in 2020.

It remains to be seen, though, if the Patriots want to keep these players on their current contracts. Hightower ($12.445 million), Cannon ($9.622 million) and Chung ($5.133 million) have the three highest cap hits out of the players who opted out.

JOSH EVANS, a defensive tackle who started for the Tennessee Titans in the 2000 Super Bowl, has died. Evans was 48.

Evans died Thursday night in Fayetteville, Georgia, one year after he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. His death was confirmed to The Associated Press by Willie Watkins Funeral Home in Riverdale, Georgia, which is handling arrangements.

Evans, a native of Langdale, Alabama, retired in 2005 following a nine-year career, including six seasons with the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans. He played his final three seasons with the New York Jets.
