The Kansas City Chiefs improved to 5-0 with a 42-34 victory over the Houston

Texans on Sunday night, but injuries to WR Chris Conley (11-175 receiving) and tight end Travis Kelce (29353 receiving, 2 TDs) cast a cloud on their pass-catching depth. Conley suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and is likely done for the year. Kelce left the game at halftime and is in concussion protocol. … New York Jets have added wide receiver Jalin Marshall to the active roster and waived cornerback Marcus Williams. Marshall was suspended the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s policy on performanc­e enhancers. The Jets had a roster exemption until Monday for Marshall, who had 14 catches for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns as a rookie. … Tennessee Titans Coach Mike Mularkey says quarterbac­k Marcus Mariota is listed as day to day after missing Sunday’s game with Miami. Mularkey says a decision on rookie wide receiver Corey Davis will come at the end of this week before the Titans host Indianapol­is (2-3). Davis has missed three consecutiv­e games. … Browns Coach Hue Jackson is undecided about his starting quarterbac­k. Jackson benched struggling rookie DeShone Kizer at halftime of Sunday’s loss to the New York Jets, replacing the 21-year-old with Kevin Hogan, who moved Cleveland’s offense and threw

two touchdown passes. … Several key starters returned to practice on Monday for the Atlanta Falcons, and only one of the 22 opening day starters — wide receiver Mohamed Sanu — appears to be a long shot to face the Dolphins. Starting right tackle Ryan Schraeder and free safety Ricardo Allen are out of the concussion protocol and were practicing. Also, wide receiver Julio Jones (hip flexor) and defensive end Vic Beasley (hamstring) were practicing during the early portion of practice that was open to the media. … The Washington Redskins returned from the bye week rested, but cornerback Josh Norman and left tackle Trent Williams are likely to miss Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers (0-5). Norman, Washington’s top cornerback, suffered a broken rib in the Kansas City game and was expected to miss 2 to 4 weeks. Williams, a five-time Pro Bowler, is dealing with a right knee injury. … The Minnesota Vikings made room on their active roster for veteran wide receiver Michael Floyd. The move was made Monday before the game in Chicago, after Floyd finished with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. The Vikings made room for Floyd be releasing RB Stephan Ridley five days after signing him.
