Kansas City Chiefs’ first injury report for Week 6 tilt vs. Los Angeles Chargers shows a team on the mend after the bye week
The Kansas City Chiefs released their first injury report for Week 6 vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. It shows several health improvements since the Week 5 bye.
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their first injury report ahead of Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
After having 10 players on the final injury report ahead of the Week 5 bye, Kansas City’s roster appears to be on the mend. Rashee Rice didn’t participate in practice on Wednesday, but the team removed 5 players who were hurt just two weeks ago from the injury report. For the first time since mid-August, Chiefs LT Josh Simmons took part in a limited practice session.
Here’s a quick breakdown of each team’s first Week 6 injury report. Keep in mind that clubs can add to the injury report through kickoff on Sunday. They will release game status designations on Friday, Oct. 16.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Wednesday injury report for Week 6
| Player | Injury | Wed./Thu./Fri. |
|---|---|---|
| WR Rashee Rice | Hamstring/Knee | DNP |
| LT Josh Simmons | Back | LP |
| CB L’Jarius Sneed | Knee | LP |
| FB Ben VanSumeren | Thumb | FP |
| DB Chamarri Conner | Knee | FP |
| QB Patrick Mahomes | Knee | FP |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations
- L’Jarius Sneed continued his veteran maintenance plan, but Chris Jones (calf) is no longer on the injury report.
- Ben VanSumeren (thumb) is the only new addition to Kansas City’s injury report. He fully participated in practice.
- As Coach Reid said, Rice did not participate, and Simmons participated in a limited capacity. Simmons moved gingerly in video taken during the open portion of practice (see FOX 4’s footage here).
Los Angeles Chargers’ Wednesday injury report for Week 6
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations
- The Chargers are one of the NFL’s most injured teams through five weeks. They have 18 players listed on the above report due to injuries.
- Los Angeles could well be without both starting tackles again in Week 6 as Joe Alt still deals with a neck injury.
- Derwin James is another big name to watch here. He missed Week 4 against the Broncos with a hamstring injury.
