The Kansas City Chiefs tackle Lucus Niang practiced for the second straight day as the team prepares to face the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Kansas City’s Thursday injury report shows Special Teams player Chris Lammons is the only Chief who did not practice this week, thus far, with an ankle injury.

Rashad Fenton, who strained his knee in Week 11 against Dallas, also practiced for the second straight day. Getting Fenton back in the lineup would be huge for Kansas City’s defensive unit, which will look to contain Las Vegas’ second-ranked passing offense. 

Speaking of the Raiders’ offensive unit, they could be without one of their top playmakers in tight end Darren Waller, who has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with back and knee injuries. Vegas is considering him day-to-day, but as of right now, he is not expected to play against the Chiefs.

Kansas City will aim to win its sixth consecutive game when they hit the field on Sunday, and they’ll hope to see two key players from the o-line and secondary suit up as well.
