- Rashad Fenton was the only player who remained absent from practice for Kansas City.
- Mike Danna and Joe Thuney returned on a limited capacity, which sounds like it was the plan from the get-go this week.
- Bryan Cook was upgraded to a full participant. He’s tracking to return from his concussion this week.
- Remember, Trent McDuffie won’t appear on these reports until he has been activated to the 53-man roster. He practiced again on Thursday.

- Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy had a great comment on the 49ers’ injuries Thursday: “Here’s one thing that I’ve always learned. It doesn’t make a difference who shows up on that injury report. All those guys seem to get healthy for the Chiefs.”
- Still no Charvarius Ward, Arik Armstead or Talanoa Hufanga at practice for the 49ers. Those are two big pieces that they could be without on defense on Sunday.
