Some notes

  • What we knew from Wednesday’s injury report was that Jody Fortson (quad/sick) wouldn’t practice. Head Coach Andy Reid had other player updates which can be found here.
  • Reid did not mention Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (hamstrings), who appeared as on the injury report limited. His status is now worth watching for the rest of the week as the status means the injury could have happened on Wednesday.
  • Defensive end Mike Danna (calf) and cornerback Trent McDuffie (hamstring) with full participation is good news for their status heading into Sunday.
  • As a reminder: Offensive lineman Lucas Niang (knee) returned to training on Wednesday but does not appear on the injury report. It remains on the PUP list (more on this here).
  • For the Titans nose tackle Jeffery Simmons (ankle) and safety Amani Hooker (shoulder) not practiced on Wednesday after suffering an injury in last week’s game against the Houston Texans.
  • Notable injuries include running back Derrick Henry (foot), quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle), and starting left guard Aaron Brewer (toe). All three were limited in practice on Wednesday. On Sunday, Henry rushed for 219 yards when Tannehill missed the game with his injury.
