Some notes

  • There are signs the Chiefs are getting healthier — especially when you consider a few items: linebacker Nick Bolton (ankle) and cornerback Jaylen Watson (shoulder) were back to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday. Bolton missed the previous two games and Watson missed last game.
  • Adding to that point, wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) were full participants on Wednesday. That’s a change from Week 4, in which they were limited for every practice heading into Sunday’s game.
  • The two Vikings injuries to watch are that of starting center Garrett Bradbury, who was limited on Wednesday, and linebacker Marcus Davenport (ankle), who was also limited. Bradbury has not played since the season opener while Davenport’s injury has been lingering since Week 2.
  • According to reports, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has not committed to Bradbury’s return happening against the Chiefs.
