Some notes
- The Chiefs had just one limited participant in Thursday’s practice: wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hamstring). Defensive back Nazeeh Johnson (hamstring), who was limited on Wednesday, was a full go on Thursday.
- Quarterback Patrick Mahomes remained on the Chiefs’ injury list with his “right hand” designation. He was a full participant for the second straight day. We have video of Mahomes warming up here:

- Defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (Achilles) was added to the injury report — but he was a full participant.
- As a reminder: Wide receiver Mecole Hardman practiced for the second straight day, but he remains on injured reserve, so Kansas City does not have to list him on the report.
- On the Texans’ side, wide receiver Brandin Cooks (calf) returned to practice in limited fashion, and there is a chance he could play against the Chiefs, per a report. Cooks was said to have been looking “fluid in individual drills.” Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (illness) also returned to practice as a full participant.
- Wide receiver Nico Collins (foot), running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) and cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. (hamstring) continued to miss practice on Thursday.
- Some old friends — defensive back Steven Nelson (foot) and Taylor Stallworth (calf) did not practice on Thursday.
