Some notes
- The Chiefs didn’t have a change to the report all week, listing five players — defensive end Mike Danna (quad), cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (hamstring), defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (triceps), defensive tackle Mike Pennel (groin) and wide receiver Xavier Worthy (quad).
- Each player logged a full practice every day and is good to go for the game.
- The injuries to Danna, Johnson, Nnadi and Pennel were carried over from last week’s listing, while Worthy was new to the report.
- Head coach Andy Reid said that running back Kareem Hunt will not be elevated (or activated) for the game against the Falcons: “We’ll keep Kareem down this game...he did good [this week]. He looked like he’s in decent shape. Now, he’s got to have an opportunity to play, to play a football game somewhere... He came in in good shape, so that’s a plus there.”
- Running back Isiah Pacheco had successful surgery on his fractured fibula Wednesday, and the Chiefs have placed him on injured reserve (more on that here). That means he no longer appears on the injury report.
- On Wednesday, the Falcons had four players listed as limited participants. On Thursday, three of them — running back Tyler Allgeier (hip), cornerback Antonio Hamilton (groin) and defensive tackle Ta’Quon Graham (rest) — were upgraded full participation. Only defensive end James Smith-Williams (hip) was limited on Thursday, but he practiced fully on Friday.
- Like the Chiefs, the Falcons carry no injury designations into Sunday night.
