Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid provided his usual pre-practice injury update on Wednesday.
A trio of Chiefs players will be absent as the team kicks off the practice week. Reid gave the rundown on those injuries.
“The guys that won’t practice today — Mike Danna won’t practice — though he’s doing better we’re just going to hold him out,” Reid said. “And then, (Joe) Thuney fits into that same category with the ankle sprain. So, he won’t practice today. We’re just monitoring those two guys. Then (Rashad) Fenton won’t practice with the hamstring.”
Danna has been dealing with a calf injury and played 25 defensive snaps in the Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills. Joe Thuney was rolled up on by a defender and Patrick Mahomes during the course of the game, suffering an ankle sprain. He played all 67 offensive snaps for Kansas City in Week 6.
It seems like both of these players are just getting rest days to start the week, but should be good to go for the Week 7 game in San Francisco.
As for the secondary situation, Fenton misses his fourth consecutive practice with a hamstring injury. Trent McDuffie, who Reid spoke in-depth about on Monday, will practice as things get underway on Wednesday.
“(Trent) McDuffie will practice and we’ll just see how he does as we go,” Reid said.
Bryan Cook, who missed Week 6 with a concussion, is also back at practice on Wednesday per Reid.
Reid also gave an update on Lucas Niang (Knee/PUP) and Blake Bell (Hip/IR). Neither player will be back this week, but Reid does expect them back at some point this season.
“Most likely it’ll be after the bye (week),” Reid said. “Somewhere after the bye. But they are getting better. We just have to see how it goes.”
