Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared the final injury update with reporters on Friday ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.
“We’ve really just got Michael Danna, the only one,” Reid said. “After our walk-through, that calf was bothering him, so we’ll probably end up holding him out of the game until we get that thing calmed down a little bit.”
The former Michigan standout had 12 tackles and half a sack on the season before suffering the calf injury. Danna’s absence will likely mean playing time for Cameron Thomas, who was acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals before the start of the season.
“Yeah, I think he’s ready to roll,” said Reid. “He’s a pretty sharp kid and plays hard, so he’s been working in there for the last few weeks.”
Thomas was a third-round selection in the 2022 NFL draft out of San Diego State. Though he’s played primarily as a linebacker, Thomas is best when utilized as a pass rusher on the defensive line. He has accumulated 40 tackles, three sacks, and a fumble recovery in his two-year career with the Cardinals.
