The Kansas City Chiefs have completed their first practice session of the week ahead of their Week 11 tilt with the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. 

The team welcomed back some familiar faces to practice on Wednesday, with RB Isiah Pacheco and DE Charles Omenihu returning to the field after stays on injured reserve and the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. The team had some more welcomed news as the practice week got underway on Wednesday, with WR JuJu Smith-Schuster practicing for the first time since suffering his hamstring injury in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke on Smith-Schuster's chances to make his return in Week 11 against the Bills. 

"There's a good chance he's back," Reid said on Wednesday. "We'll see as we go through practice, but it's up to him if he's back."

If the practice week goes according to plan, Smith-Schuster could provide an offensive boost in Buffalo. It wasn't all good news on the first injury report for the Chiefs, though. A trio of players, while full participants in practice, were listed with new ailments following Week 10's tilt with the Denver Broncos. That group includes star QB Patrick Mahomes.

Here's a look at the first injury reports of the week for each team. . .

First Chiefs Injury Report

Player	Injury	Wednesday
DE Charles Omenihu (PUP)	Knee	LP
RB Isiah Pacheco (IR)	Ankle	LP
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster	Hamstring	LP
DE Mike Danna	Pectoral	FP
WR Mecole Hardman	Shoulder/Toe	FP
WR DeAndre Hopkins	Knee	FP
RB Kareem Hunt	Knee	FP
DE George Karlaftis	Abdomen/Ankle	FP
QB Patrick Mahomes	Ank;e/Hip	FP
LT Wanya Morris	Knee	FP
DT Derrick Nnadi	Triceps	FP

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

Observations:

• Patrick Mahomes, Mecole Hardman, and George Karlaftis added an ailment after already dealing with injuries. Mahomes previously had an ankle injury and is now also listed with a hip. Hardman had a shoulder and knee injury last week, but he now has a shoulder and toe injury. Karlaftis previously just had an abdomen injury, but he now added an ankle injury. 
• Unsurprisingly, Mahomes picked up another injury after being knocked around as much as he was against the Broncos.
• DeAndre Hopkins picked up a knee injury and is on the injury report for the first time in Kansas City. 
• Some good news: Wanya Morris practiced in full. Andy Reid suggested that Morris' bone bruise is like a high ankle sprain, in the sense that it can easily be reinjured, but there is little risk of further damage.
• Some more good news: Kareem Hunt practiced in full during the first practice session of the week after several weeks of starting off limited due to a quad injury.

First Bills Injury Report

Player	Injury	Wednesday
QB Josh Allen	Left hand	FP
CB Christian Benford	Wrist	FP
LB Terrel Bernard	Ankle/Pectoral	FP
OL Spencer Brown	Ankle	DNP
WR Keon Coleman	Wrist	DNP
WR Amari Cooper	Wrist	LP
CB Kaiir Elam	Shoulder	FP
FB Reggie Gilliam	Hip	FP
WR Mack Hollins	Shoulder	FP
DT DaQuan Jones	Foot	FP
TE Dalton Kincaid	Knee	DNP
LB Matt Milano (IR)	Biceps	LP
TE Quinton Morris	Shoulder/Hamstring	FP
S Taylor Rapp	Foot/Shoulder	FP
WR Curtis Samuel	Pectoral/Foot	FP
DE Casey Toohill	Knee	FP
LB Dorian Williams	Knee	FP

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

Observations:

• A whopping 17 players on the injury report shows you just how banged up this Buffalo team is at the midseason mark. 
• Watch Bills RT Spencer Brown's status throughout the week. They don't have great depth at tackle, so this could be an area the KC defense could exploit.
• Bills HC Sean McDermott already ruled out a pair of players for the week.
