Some notes
- After what looked like to be a trend in the right direction for the three Chiefs in question on Wednesday, Thursday’s report might be fairly categorized as a trend in the wrong direction.
- While Darrel Williams (toe) remained limited, wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) was downgraded to a limited after looking good on Wednesday. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) missed the practice entirely.
- Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy remained confident in the RB group as a whole: “My comfort level is where it always is—the next man is up. The thing is Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) is going to do everything he can to be out there this weekend and we’re going to let the people take care of what they need to take care of. But on top of that, Greg Lewis is doing a heck of a job with those guys. When given an opportunity, those guys have proven that they can rise to the challenge. So, I expect our guys regardless of who is out there playing to go out there and play hard and play fast, but on top of that, to give us something productive to help us to secure a victory.”
- It is notable that Steelers running back Najee Harris (elbow) was not at practice for the second day in a row. Harris is scheduled to practice on Friday, with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin reportedly saying that the workout will be “telling” as to his game-day status.
- Pittsburgh Left tackle Dan Moore Jr. (ankle) was a full participant after missing the Steelers’ final game, a sign that he will return to the lineup against the Chiefs.
- Starting right guard Trai Turner (knee) — a new addition on Thursday — is a situation to watch. He missed practice after not appearing on the injury report on Wednesday.
