The final injury reports for Sunday's Super Bowl matchup were released Friday, and the respective statuses of two impactful receivers are up in the air.

Antonio Brown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Sammy Watkins of the Kansas City Chiefs are both listed as questionable for the game.

Watkins is dealing with a calf injury that forced him out of Kansas City's first two playoff games, and Brown is battling a knee ailment. However, both were full participants during Friday's practice.

The Chiefs ruled out offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who reportedly suffered a torn Achilles in the AFC championship game, and rookie linebacker Willie Gay Jr. Running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le'Veon Bell don't have injury designations ahead of Sunday's matchup.

For the Bucs, tight end Cameron Brate missed practice with a back injury and is also listed as questionable. Brate is reportedly expected to be available, though, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr. will return to the lineup after missing the NFC title game with an ankle ailment.

Should Brown or Watkins play limited snaps or be unable to suit up, young wideouts Mecole Hardman, Tyler Johnson, and Scotty Miller will likely play more snaps.
