Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones doesn't believe the calf injury that has limited him this postseason will affect his participation in Super Bowl LIV.

The star pass-rusher is "one thousand percent" sure he'll be ready to play a full role in the season finale against the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 2, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.

Jones missed the Chiefs' divisional-round clash against the Houston Texans on Jan. 12 and appeared in just 42% of defensive snaps in the AFC Championship Game against the Titans. He recorded two tackles and one quarterback hit against Tennessee on Sunday.

Despite missing three games in 2019, the 25-year-old's nine sacks led Kansas City for the second straight year. He's amassed 24.5 sacks since 2018.
