Each practice day this season, the Kansas City Chiefs release an official injury report ahead of the next game. In Week 8, the Chiefs play the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
Here is the Chiefs’ final official injury report of the week, courtesy of the teams’ official websites:
Chiefs
- Cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder) was listed as questionable after suddenly missing practice Thursday and Friday. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that it is the same shoulder he has dealt with injuries to since training camp and forced him to miss time in Weeks 1 and 2.
- Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (knee) was listed as questionable after limited participation in practice for two days and missing on Wednesday with an NIR/personal designation. He is regularly listed as a limited participant due to a lingering knee issue.
- Defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (knee) was ruled out after being designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday. He will continue working in the 21-day practice window before the Chiefs must sign him to the active 53-man roster.
- Defensive end R Mason Thomas (personal) was listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. On Friday, Andy Reid said Thomas will meet the Chiefs in Denver and will likely play.
- Wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) did not have a game status listed after limited participation in practice all week; he hasn’t played since tweaking his hamstring in Week 4, but he should be making his return to the field in Denver.
- Tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) did not have a game status listed and practiced in full on Friday after being labeled a limited participant in practice on Thursday. He banged up his ankle in the Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The following players were full participants in practice all week:
- Right tackle Jaylon Moore (concussion)
- Left tackle Kahlil Benson (ankle)
- Linebacker Nick Bolton (neck)
- Center Creed Humphrey (toe)
- Linebacker Drue Tranquill (elbow)
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee)
Broncos
We will update the chart with the final injury report when it becomes available.
Starting safety Talanoa Hufanga (ankle) has not practiced all week and hasn’t
played since leaving the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Chargers with an ankle injury. This season, he is tied for the team lead with two interceptions — one he returned for a touchdown — and has three passes defended, one forced fumble and three tackles for loss.
Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) suffered his injury in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He returned to practice on Thursday on a limited basis.
All-Pro cornerback Patrick Sutain II (ankle) has not played since suffering the ankle injury in Week 4, but he has practiced in full all week and is expected to play.
Pro Bowl defensive lineman Zach Allen (hamstring), who has 4.5 sacks this year, returned to practice on Thursday on a limited basis; he hasn’t missed any time for this injury up to this point.
After having no designation on Wednesday, running back RJ Harvey and starting safety Brandon Jones were both listed as “limited” for Thursday’s practice. Harvey has 304 total yards and two touchdowns this season, while Jones intercepted Mahomes in Week 1 and has the second-most tackles on Denver’s defense this season.
