Anthony Hitchens – Noteworthy – Injury
LB Anthony Hitchens was active Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals but did not play. The Chiefs kept Hitchens available for emergency purposes only. Hitchens suffered bruised ribs during the team’s Week 8 win over the Denver Broncos, and the team wanted to provide him additional rest for next week’s Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif – Noteworthy – Injury
RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is scheduled to have his cast removed this week on his left leg after following surgery Oct. 15 for a fracture fibula and ligament damage in his ankle. The team expects a better idea for a timetable for his potential return after removing the cast, but the lineman remains hopeful he can return later this season. Durvernay-Tardif is eligible to return to practice as early as Week 12 but can return from injured reserve no earlier than Week 14.
Mitch Morse – Noteworthy
C Mitch Morse missed his fourth-straight game on Sunday after suffering a concussion in Week 6. He remains in the league’s concussion protocol, and head coach Andy Reid indicated he remained symptomatic last week. There’s not timetable on his return. Austin Reiter started his third game at center filling in for Morse.
Patrick Mahomes – Noteworthy
QB Patrick Mahomes did not appear in the locker after Sunday’s win due to the death of his girlfriend’s stepfather during the game. Head coach Andy Reid does not anticipate the quarterback missing any preparation for this week’s game against the Rams.
Sammy Watkins – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Sammy Watkins did not play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals with a right foot injury. Head coach Andy Reid expects Watkins to play in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.
