OL Darian Kinnard Elbow FP

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

  • While Chiefs DE Frank Clark was officially listed as absent from practice due to an illness, it seems he also resolved his legal situation stemming from two arrests on gun charges in LA county in 2021. Read the full report from the KC Star here.
  • Kinnard is the only new player listed on the injury report with an actual injury. He has an elbow injury but participated in full during practice on Thursday.

Player Injury Participation*
C Rodney Hudson NIR-rest
 LB Markus Golden Toe LP
CB Trayvon Mullen Toe DNP
DE J.J. Watt Calf DNP
LS Aaron Brewer Ankle FP
 TE Zach Ertz Calf DNP
OL Justin Pugh Neck LP
LB Ezekiel Turner Shoulder LP
RB Jonathan Ward Shoulder LP
WR Rondale Moore Hamstring LP
OL Cody Ford Ankle LP

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

  • Golden returned to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity. Hudson returned in full and is no longer listed on the injury report.
  • Ertz was downgraded to a non-participant after being limited on Wednesday. That’s not a good thing with just one more practice day ahead of the game on Sunday.
  • Two new injuries for Arizona include WR Rondale Moore and OL Cody Ford. Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson reported that Moore will have an MRI to gauge the severity of the hamstring injury. His status is in doubt for Sunday. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo expected big things from Moore this week.
