As far as the players on the field go, the NFL released these pool reports:

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Chiefs finished Friday’s brief, one hour and six minute practice with all players qualifying as “full” participants.
“They all practiced, everybody practiced. I feel pretty good about ‘em,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said.
Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (knee), who appeared on the injury report for the first time all week Thursday, was present and active, taking reps during Thursday’s practice.
“He had a lot of snaps today, he had quite a few snaps today, which was good. And I think he came out good, too,” Reid said.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle), wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle/hamstring) linebacker Willie Gay (shoulder), running back Jerick McKinnon (ankles), running back Isiah Pacheco (wrist), guard Trey Smith (ankle) and wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), who made up the rest of the club’s most recent injury report, were all spotted participating on Friday.
Friday’s practice, which took place under clear skies and a fairly stiff southwestern wind, was focused on red zone simulation. The shorter field, Reid said, gives the practice more of an expedited feel. Still, more than 20 Chiefs players remained after practice to catch extra passes from the Jugs machine or to do individual work.
“The guys worked hard, did their thing,” Reid said.

TEMPE – Veteran defensive tackle Fletcher Cox broke down the Eagles’ final post-practice huddle of Super Bowl week Friday afternoon, and head coach Nick Sirianni sent his team off the field with a similar message to what he’s echoed to his players all season.
“Our message and our identity all year has been to play fast, physical and for each other,” Siranni said after the hour-long session. “We’re going to keep talking about that.”
Friday’s practice was lighter in physical intensity than Thursday’s practice, but required players to focus on red zone situations – just the way Sirianni has structured Friday practices all season. Players seemed loose and in good spirits, with plenty of singing and dancing and laughs, particularly toward the end of practice.
Now Sirianni is asking his players to maintain focus through the weekend as they rest their bodies ahead of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
His team is healthy: the only player who will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game is receiver Britain Covey (hamstring). The following players were listed on the final injury report as full participants in Friday’s practice: G Landon Dickerson (elbow), RT Lane Johnson (groin), C Cam Jurgens (hip), CB Avonte Maddox (toe) and DE Robert Quinn (foot).
Sirianni had his team leave the field and head inside late in Friday’s practice to simulate the Super Bowl’s long halftime break. The team returned after seven minutes – shorter than the break they’ll have on Sunday while Rihanna performs – but Sirianni wanted his team to go through the motions of stretching and getting ready to play again. Players went through one final low intensity session after that break before the final huddle, capped by Cox’s breakdown.
