The Kansas City Chiefs have completed their second practice session during the truncated week ahead of their Black Friday matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders at GEHA Field Arrowhead Stadium.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke to the media for the first time during the short week, explaining that their lone injury is one to the kicker position.

"Alright, as far as the injuries go, Leo Chenal is out with personal issues. I mean, he missed today. He'll be back. And Cam Jones was sick and missed today. Spencer (Shrader) is the only one really (with an injury) to report. (He) strained his hamstring (on) Monday when training, and so he will be listed as out." 

Former Chiefs K Matthew Wright is back on the practice squad and is expected to be elevated for the game. He'll be the team's third kicker this season. 

As for returning starters, Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu, Reid anticipates they'll make their return short of an unforeseen setback in walkthroughs on Thursday.

"As long as they're OK," Reid said. "I mean, we'll check on it again today. I've been trying to take it day by day. If they're if they're good after today, then we'll play them."

One player that fans shouldn't expect to see yet is LT D.J. Humphries, who just arrived on Monday. He is still getting into football shape and learning the playbook for Kansas City.

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