  • Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke about the team’s injury situation ahead of practice on Wednesday. You can read about that here.
  • Reminder: Until Lucas Niang is on the 53-man roster, the team is not required to report his practice status.
  • Willie Gay Jr. was listed as limited in practice with a hamstring injury. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious because this is not the week you want to be without your most athletic linebacker.

DT Naquan Jones Illness DNP

  • Some notable defensive injuries for the Titans include Amani Hooker and Jeffrey Simmons. It might be a maintenance day for Simmons, who has been dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks.
  • Derrick Henry was limited with a foot injury and Ryan Tannehill limited with an ankle injury. Monitor their status on Thursday to see if they’re upgraded.
