Chiefs playmakers take important step forward in latest injury report for Week 13 Thanksgiving game vs. Cowboys
Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Leo Chenal all saw their practice participation upgraded, while the Cowboys had one new addition to the injury report.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys have released their second injury reports of the week ahead of their Week 13 Thanksgiving Day game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The first injury reports for each club were estimates, as the teams only held walkthroughs during the short practice week. Today, the Chiefs and Cowboys each held a practice, revealing the real story about the players at risk of missing the Week 13 game due to injury or illness.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the latest injury report for both teams.
Chiefs Tuesday Injury Report
| Player | Injury | Mon./Tue. |
|---|---|---|
| WR Xavier Worthy | Ankle | LP/FP |
| WR Rashee Rice | Hamstring | LP/FP |
| LB Leo Chenal | Knee | LP/FP |
| DE George Karlaftis | Thumb | FP/FP |
| QB Patrick Mahomes | Groin | FP/FP |
| RB Isiah Pacheco | Knee | FP/FP |
| RG Trey Smith | Ankle / Back | DNP/DNP |
| RT Jawaan Taylor | Knee / Ankle | FP/FP |
| TE Noah Gray | Concussion | DNP/DNP |
| DB Chris Roland-Wallace | Back | FP/LP |
Observations
- After being listed as limited in the team’s estimated injury report for Monday, Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Leo Chenal all saw their practice participation upgraded to full. That’s a good sign for their ability to play in Week 13.
- Chris Roland-Wallace, who Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo praised on Tuesday, participated in a limited capacity due to his back injury. Roland-Wallace was ruled out of the Week 12 game with the Colts due to a back injury.
- Isiah Pacheco is, in fact, tracking to make his return in Week 13 vs. the Cowboys. He logged a full participation practice on Tuesday.
- Andy Reid mentioned they’d see what Wednesday brings for RG Trey Smith and TE Noah Gray, but at this point, they’re tracking to miss the Week 13 game.
Cowboys Tuesday Injury Report
| Player | Injury | Mon./Tue. |
|---|---|---|
| LT Tyler Guyton | Ankle | DNP/DNP |
| DT Osa Odighizuwa | Elbow | DNP/LP |
| WR George Pickens | Knee/Calf | DNP/LP |
| WR KaVontae Turpin | Shoulder/Illness | DNP/LP |
| DE Jadeveon Clowney | Neck | LP/LP |
| DE Dante Fowler | Shoulder | LP/LP |
| S Malik Hooker | Toe/Thigh | LP/LP |
| S Donovan Wilson | Neck | LP/LP |
| CB DaRon Bland | Wrist | FP/FP |
| DE James Houston | Wrist/Knee | FP/FP |
| FB Hunter Lueepke | Hip | FP/FP |
| G Tyler Smith | Knee | FP/FP |
| DT Solomon Thomas | Calf | FP/FP |
| CB Caelen Carson | Hamstring | –/LP |
Observations
- The Cowboys upgraded every non-participant from Monday to a limited participant except for LT Tyler Guyton, who has a high ankle sprain and is expected to be ruled out for Week 13. Every limited participant from Monday remained a limited participant on Tuesday.
- The midweek hamstring pull on a short week doesn’t bode well for Cowboys starting left cornerback Caaelan Carson. It likely means a bigger role for returning rookie Shavon Revel Jr., especially if Carson is unable to play.
