Some notes
- The Chiefs had four players on the injury report — right guard Trey Smith (shoulder), wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), defensive end Malik Herring (abdomen) and safety Deon Bush (foot) — but all four players were full participants. That means that every player on Kansas City’s current 53-man roster is good to go (remember, tight end Blake Bell is currently on injured reserve and not on the 53-man roster).
- On Wednesday, Smith-Schuster told reporters he is 100% after battling the knee issue toward the end of training camp and the preseason. More information on that here.
- The Cardinals had a lengthier injury list that included four key players — center (and familiar face) Rodney Hudson (rest), defensive end Markus Golden (toe), defensive end JJ Watt (calf) and cornerback Trayvon Mullen (toe) — who weren’t practicing. Watt and Mullen are “day-to-day.”
- Another five players, including left guard Justin Pugh (neck) and tight end Zach Ertz (calf), were limited. Hudson, Pugh and Ertz are considered game-time decisions, according to Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
