After the lighter, 10-10-10 session of practice, head coach Andy Reid stood at the podium and updated local media on the injury status of a few players.
He also confirmed that Chiefs starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes will not be
playing in Saturday’s game.
Chamarri Conner
According to Nate Taylor of ESPN, Reid shared that safety Chamarri Conner missed practice due to “banging knees” with wide receiver Tyquan Thornton during Wednesday’s practice.
Kader Kohou
Veteran slot cornerback Kader Kohou was also held out of Thursday’s practice. Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reported that a sore knee kept Kohou off the practice field.
Other attendance notes from Thursday’s practice
According to Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star, the following players worked off to the side of practice on Thursday along with Conner.
- Starting right guard Trey Smith (Hip)
- Starting linebacker Drue Tranquill (Back spasms)
- Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (Knee)
- Defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (PUP)
Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane participated in the non-padded practice without the yellow jersey that signals a player is a limited participant and is avoiding contact. It remains to be seen whether that was the case because it was a non-padded practice, or if he is really ready to fully participate moving forward.
Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah donned a Chiefs jersey at practice, despite not being officially signed as of yesterday’s NFL Transactions Report. He will wear No. 50 in Kansas City, according to Chiefs Senior Reporter Matt McMullen.
