Some notes
- The Chiefs had two new additions to the injury report on Thursday — defensive end Frank Clark (illness) and backup offensive lineman Darian Kinnard (elbow). We have more information on Clark here.
- The rest of the Chiefs’ injury report remained the same from Wednesday, with right guard Trey Smith (shoulder), wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), defensive end Malik Herring (abdomen) and safety Deon Bush (foot) all listed but practicing fully.
- 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’ already-lengthy injury report got worse on Thursday, with two new additions: wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) and backup offensive lineman Cody Ford (ankle). The Cardinals — who are already down wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) — reportedly plan to have Moore undergo an MRI to explore the severity of the injury. Both players were limited.
- To make matters even more troubling for Arizona, tight end Zach Ertz (calf) was downgraded from a limited participant on Wednesday to not participating on Thursday. Defensive end Markus Golden (toe) and long snapper Aaron Brewer (ankle) were all limited after not practicing on Wednesday.
- An old friend, center Rodney Hudson (rest), was a full participant, indicating he will play against the Chiefs on Sunday.
- Defensive end JJ Watt (calf) and cornerback Trayvon Mullen (toe) remained out of practice and are “day-to-day.” Starting left guard Justin Pugh (neck) remained limited.
