The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to Buffalo to take on the Bills in a pivotal Week 9 matchup.
As usual, this game will be huge for playoff seeding come January. The Chiefs remain in good health overall, but were down a couple of offensive starters during Wednesday’s practice. As for the Bills, they are very thin along the defensive line. Let’s examine their first injury report of the week as the prepare for the Bills.
Bills’ Wednesday injury report
| Player | Injury | Wednesday |
| RB Ray Davis | Illness | DNP |
| DT DaQuan Jones | Calf | DNP |
| WR Joshua Palmer | Knee/Ankle | DNP |
| DE Joey Bosa | Rest | LP |
| DT Jordan Phillips | Rest | LP |
| K Matt Prater | Calf | LP |
| LB Shaq Thompson | Hamstring | LP |
| LB Matt Milano | Pectoral | FP |
| LB Terrel Bernard | Ankle | FP |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations:
- Jones missing Wednesday’s practice doesn’t bode well for Buffalo, as it already has two other DTs on injured reserve in Ed Oliver and T.J. Sanders.
- Palmer missed last week’s game against the Panthers, and if he can’t log a practice this week, he’ll likely be out against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Chiefs’ Wednesday injury report
| Player | Injury | Wednesday |
| OT Josh Simmons | Not injury related- Personal | DNP |
| RB Isiah Pacheco | Knee | DNP |
| WR Hollywood Brown | Illness | DNP |
| OG Trey Smith | Back | LP |
| RB Kareem Hunt | Ankle | FP |
| RB Brashard Smith | Toe | FP |
| LB Nick Bolton | Knee | FP |
| DE Charles Omenihu | Ankle | FP |
| OT Jawaan Taylor | Knee/Shoulder | FP |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations:
- Still no Simmons as the Chiefs begin preparations for the Bills. It appears he’s heading toward missing his fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a personal family matter.
- As expected, Pacheco missed Wednesday’s practice. He has been labeled as “week-to-week” with a sprained MCL, putting him in serious jeopardy to miss Sunday’s game.
- If Brown’s illness is not too serious and he’s able to practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be good to go against Buffalo.
- Smith returned to practice after missing all of last week and sitting out Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders. Things will be touch and go with him leading up to Sunday’s matchup.
