Chiefs rookie left tackle Wanya Morris worked with the first-team offense on Wednesday.
He's in line to start for Sunday when the Buffalo Bills (6-6) come to Kansas City after a bye last week.
Head coach Andy Reid said Morris, a third-round pick in 2023, was solid last Sunday night when forced to log a season-high 42 snaps in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. He played eight snaps at left tackle in the first 11 games combined.
Starting left tackle Donovan Smith (neck stinger) could miss the matchup with the Bills, and a one-on-one confrontation with Buffalo pass rusher Leonard Floyd. Floyd leads Buffalo with 9.5 sacks this season.
At Green Bay, Morris allowed one sack and four pressures of quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"Yeah, he's played well. He's done a great job in the run and the pass game," Mahomes said Wednesday. "Now it's just trying to get him prepared to face a great defensive line with all the games they do and the stunts."
Reid said running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder contusion) did not practice Wednesday. He rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries against Green Bay.
