Some notes
- For the Chiefs, running back Kareem Hunt (ankle – knee) and guard Trey Smith (back) did not participate in Thursday’s workout. Speaking to reporters, head coach Andy Reid reported that Hunt has a bone bruise on his knee. “He’s going to be OK, but we’ll have him sit out today,” he said. Reid said that Smith is experiencing back spasms. “It’s getting better,” said the coach. “We’ll just see how it goes.“
- Left tackle Josh Simmons has now missed two games for personal reasons. Reid finally gave some insight into the situation, saying that Simmons was “taking care of family.” But byond that, the coach gave few details. “He’s just taking care of business,” said Reid. “That’s the main thing, right here. When you deal with this, that’s what you do. And he’s been very good about communicating it.”
- For the Commanders, quarterback Jayden Daniels headlines the report. While he is expected to fully recover from the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, he’s already being reported by multiple outlets as out for Monday’s game. If he doesn’t play, backup Marcus Mariota will start in his place.
- Six other Washington players — all of them significant contributors — were held out of Thursday’s practice. But only one of them — guard Sam Cosmi (back) — is actually injured. Tight end Zach Ertz, tackle Laremy Tunsil, defensive tackle Daron Payne and outside linebacker Von Miller were given a rest day. Cornerback Jonathan Jones was excused from practice for personal reasons.
