Chiefs injury report: Kansas City’s injury fortunes on an upward swing, Jaguars have several banged up starters
Things are looking up for the Chiefs’ health entering Week 5 matchup against Jacksonville.
Update: The Chiefs added a new injury and game status designation for WR Xavier Worthy on Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs are in full preparation for their Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
Coach Andy Reid had no new injuries to report on Thursday, as every member of the active roster participated in some form during practice. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have several starters battling through multiple injuries. Let’s examine each team’s injury reports for Thursday.
Chiefs’ Thursday injury report
| Player | Injury | Thursday |
| CB Kristian Fulton | Ankle | LP |
| DE Mike Danna | Quad | FP |
| DE Charles Omenihu | Ankle | FP |
| WR Xavier Worthy | Shoulder | FP |
| WR JuJu Smith-Schuster | Knee | FP |
| WR Hollywood Brown | Ankle | FP |
| OT Jawaan Taylor | Knee | FP |
| LS James Winchester | Hamstring | FP |
| QB Patrick Mahomes | Groin | FP |
Observations
- Fulton was the only player for Kansas City who was limited during practice. He has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, and he missed most of training camp and preseason after having offseason knee surgery. With rookie CB Nohl Williams playing so well, there’s no reason to rush Fulton back until he can be full-go.
- Danna has also missed the last two games, but practicing in full on Thursday is a big step in the right direction for him to return this week.
- Worthy did not have any setbacks during his Week 4 return as he fully practiced on Thursday.
Jaguars’ Thursday injury report
| Player | Injury | Thursday |
| DE Travon Walker | Wrist | DNP |
| LB Yasir Abdullah | Hamstring | DNP |
| OL Anton Harrison | Elbow | LP |
| OL Patrick Mekari | Knee | LP |
| OL Ezra Cleveland | Concussion/Ankle | LP |
| OL Wyatt Milum | Knee | LP |
| OL Chuma Edoga | Knee | LP |
| WR Dyami Brown | Shoulder | LP |
| S Eric Murray | Neck | LP |
| RB Bhayshul Tuten | Shoulder | LP |
Observations
- The Jaguars’ offensive line is beat up, as three starters (Harrison, Mekari, Cleveland) were all limited on Thursday. The unit has played well this season, so missing any of them would be a blow for Jacksonville.
- Walker is considered week-to-week with his wrist injury. Despite just undergoing surgery on it days ago, he has not been ruled out playing against the Chiefs. We’ll know more by Saturday’s final injury reports, but it seems like Walker will be a game-time decision.
- Murray, a former draft pick by Kansas City in 2016, could be in jeopardy of missing out on playing his former team with a neck injury.
