The Chiefs got the worst injury news heading into this upcoming matchup with WR Hollywood Brown heading to injured reserve following surgery on his SC joint injury. That said, of the players who had a shot to play in Week 2, the Bengals clearly got the short end of the stick on the injury news. They have multiple players who have game status designations for Sunday, including a starting wide receiver and two of their top draft picks in the 2024 NFL draft.

Observations:
- Things are status quo for the Chiefs outside of Hollywood Brown's placement on IR.
- Logan Wilson started the week as a non-participant for the Bengals, but worked his way up to full participation by Friday. It'll still be worth monitoring him during the game.
- The Bengals added players to the injury report for the second consecutive practice. It seems they might be a little more banged up than they've been letting on.
Chiefs rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s speedy development just became that much more important
With Hollywood Brown heading to injured reserve, Chiefs rookie WR Xavier Worthy just became that much more important.
