The Kansas City Chiefs are about as healthy as a team could possibly be heading into their Week 11 tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles on "Monday Night Football."
Chiefs HC Andy Reid announced to media members after the week's final practice that there were no new injuries to report. That means the team made it through the practice week without any injuries occurring in practice. That's always a good sign, but it's especially reassuring after the team had the prior week off for the bye week.
Every player on the active roster should be available for Week 11, making things much easier in the long run.
Richie James unlikely to play in Week 11:
The one player who has been practicing, but is unlikely to play against the Eagles is WR Richie James. He's been designated to return from injured reserve after suffering a knee injury, however, he's yet to be activated to the 53-man roster.
"Probably not," Chiefs HC Andy Reid said when asked if James would be up on Monday night. "We'll see how that goes. (Brett) Veach is working through that. (He's) got that under control."
Wednesday, Nov. 22nd is the deadline to activate James from injured reserve. The team currently has an open spot on the 53-man roster heading into Monday night's game.
