KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs have Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones active for the AFC championship game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday after he missed their divisional-round playoff win over the Houston Texans with a calf injury.

Jones did not practice until Friday, when he worked on a limited basis. He was questionable on the final injury report.

The Titans have wide receiver Adam Humphries back after he missed six games with an ankle injury, and linebacker Jayon Brown is active after missing last weekend’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens with a shoulder injury.

Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore is inactive after dealing with an illness this week, which means Chad Henne will back up Patrick Mahomes. Also inactive are cornerback Morris Claiborne, running back LeSean McCoy, linebacker Darron Lee and offensive linemen Jackson Barton, Ryan Hunter and Andrew Wylie.

The Titans are sitting offensive lineman Kevin Pamphile, defensive tackles Joey Ivie and Isaiah Mack, linebacker Reggie Gilbert and wide receivers Rashard Davis, Cody Hollister and Darius Jennings.

Sunday’s kickoff for the Titans (11-7) and the Chiefs (13-4) is at 3:05 p.m. EST in Kansas City, with CBS televising the game. The winner advances to the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 in Miami Gardens, Florida, to take on the champion of the NFC.

The Green Bay Packers (14-3) face the host San Francisco 49ers (14-3) in that conference’s title game at 6:40 p.m. EST Sunday, with Fox televising the matchup.
