The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills both released their second injury reports of the week on Thursday. Both teams saw key players upgraded in terms of their practice participation, while others were downgraded.
Check out the injury report for each team down below:

| S Justin Reid | Hand | FP |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- So long as there are no unforeseen setbacks, Dave Toub says K Harrison Butker will play in Week 6. Butker practiced in full on Thursday.
- Remember, Chiefs rookie CB Trent McDuffie isn’t required to appear on the injury report until he’s been activated to the 53-man roster. The team’s DB coach, Dave Merritt, indicated on Thursday that it’s not a stretch to think McDuffie would be able to return against the Bills.
- Frank Clark was a non-participant in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.
- Justin Reid was added to the injury report with a hand injury, but was a full participant.
- Mike Danna and Chris Lammons were both upgraded to full participants in practice.
Bills

| CB Cam Lewis | Forearm | LP |
| WR Isiah McKenzie | Concussion | FP |
| DT Ed Oliver | Ankle | FP |
| CB Christian Benford | Hand | LP |
| LB Tremaine Edwards | Hamstring | LP |
| CB Kaiir Elam | Foot | FP |
| DT DaQuan Jones | Hip | FP |
| TE Dawson Knox | Foot/Hamstring | LP |
| LB Von Miller | Rest | – |

| OG Rodger Saffold | Rest | – |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- Really no setbacks for Buffalo apart from CB Cam Lewis, who was downgraded to limited after practicing in full on Wednesday.
- Former Chiefs C Mitch Morse was upgraded to a full participant and he could be a big difference-maker in this game if fully healthy.
- A second consecutive limited practice for Tremaine Edmunds, Dawson Knox, Jordan Phillips and Jordan Poyer is concerning for Buffalo, but Friday will tell the tale of their game status.
