Anthony Hitchens – Important – Injury
LB Anthony Hitchens received a day off from practice Wednesday as he continues recovering from bruised ribs sustained against Denver in Week 8. Hitchens played through the injury on Sunday against Cleveland and appears likely to play this week against Arizona barring a setback.
Cameron Erving – Noteworthy – Injury
LG Cam Erving did not practice on Wednesday with an illness.
Daniel Sorensen – Important – Injury
S Daniel Sorensen practiced in a limited role on Wednesday, his first official practice since being designated to return from injured reserve on Tuesday. Sorensen appears likely to see some playing time this week against Cleveland, but head coach Andy Reid wouldn’t commit to how much he might play in his first game back.
Justin Houston – Important – Injury
LB Justin Houston practiced on a limited basis Wednesday as he returns from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the lineup the last four weeks. Head coach Andy Reid said how well Houston handles practice this week would determine his availability for Sunday’s game against Arizona.
Kareem Hunt – Important
RB Kareem Hunt was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after gaining 141 yards on 19 touches with a pair of scores in Sunday’s 37-21 victory over the Browns. The Cleveland native also had a 50-yard touchdown reception.
Mitch Morse – Important – Injury
C Mitch Morse remains in the league’s concussion protocol and will likely miss his fourth straight game. Head coach Andy Reid said Morse continues dealing with symptoms from the concussion he suffered in Week 6 against New England. The team has no timetable for his return.
Sammy Watkins – Important – Injury
WR Sammy Watkins underwent an MRI for his injured right foot, however the results did not indicate any major damage. Head coach Andy Reid described his status as day-to-day, but the club held him out of practice on Wednesday. His status for the team’s Week 10 matchup against Arizona remains uncertain.
Sammy Watkins – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Sammy Watkins underwent an MRI on his ailing foot this week, according to a published report Wednesday. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that while the results revealed no structural damage, the Chiefs (8-1) may be cautious with Watkins considering his history with the injury in addition to their schedule. Kansas City carries a three-game winning streak into Sunday’s game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals (2-6). The Chiefs then face the high-octane Los Angeles Rams in Mexico the following week before heading into their bye.
