Some notes
- For the Chiefs, two players who missed Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans were back at work as full participants on Wednesday: right guard Trey Smith (ankle) and wide receiver (and kick returner) Nikko Remigio (concussion). But on Thursday, Smith was downgraded to limited participation. That’s not a good sign.
- After being excused on Wednesday, wide receiver Hollywood Brown was a limited participant on Thursday.
- Linebacker Nick Bolton was held out on Thursday because of a illness.
- Right tackle Jawaan Taylor (triceps – knee) once again did not participate on Thursday. Swing tackle Wanya Morris (knee) was also held out.
- Starting cornerback Trent McDuffie was once again a limited participant on Wednesday.
- For the Chargers, starting quarterback Justin Herbert (left hand) was again limited with his broken hand. He played with the injury in Monday’s game against the Eagles, but X-rays showed no additional damage.
- Starting wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was also limited again on Thursday.
- Two other starters — starting right tackle Trey Pipkins III (ankle) and starting defensive back Elijah Molden (hamstring) — did not participate. They were joined by rotational linebacker Troy Dye (hip) and special teams wide receiver Derius Davis (ankle). All four were also held out on Wednesday.
- Two veteran starters — wide receiver Keenan Allen and starting outside linebacker Khalil Mack — were held out for rest on Monday. They were both full participants on Thursday.
- Rotational tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) — limited on Wednesday — was upgraded to full participation.
