Player Injury Participation* Designation
WR Justin Watson Chest FP
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster Shoulder FP
WR Mecole Hardman Heel FP
WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling Hip FP
RG Trey Smith Ankle FP
LT Orlando Brown Jr. Knee FP
K Harrison Butker Ankle DNP OUT
DE Mike Danna Calf DNP OUT

* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

  • Danna is quietly a big loss for Kansas City. He is third on the team in total pressures with eight so far this season. Malik Herring will fill in per Andy Reid.
  • As for Butker, Andy Reid said he’s making progress. Reid called his injury, “a pretty good sprain.” He said he’d have a chance next week.
  • Hardman was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. He’s a full go for Week 3.

Colts

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
Player Injury Participation* Designation
OT Bernhard Raimann Ankle LP OUT
WR Michael Pittman Jr. Quad FP
DT DeForest Buckner Hip FP
DE Yannick Ngakoue Back LP Questionable
WR Alec Pierce Concussion FP
LB Shaquille Leonard Back FP OUT
LB Zaire Franklin Shoulder FP
S Julian Blackmon Shoulder FP
DT Grover Stewart Shoulder FP

* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

  • Despite participating in practice all week, LB Shaquille Leonard remains out. That’s a huge break for the Chiefs offense.
  • WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce carry no game status designation for Week 3. Short of a major setback, both players will return to the lineup for Indy.
  • DE Yannick Ngakoue is listed as questionable as he deals with a back injury. I get the sense he’ll be a true game-time decision for the Colts.
