The Kansas City Chiefs released their final injury report before they take the field against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. All eyes remain on tight end Travis Kelce’s playing status after he suffered a low ankle sprain last week in Minnesota.
Kelce was limited in practice Wednesday and is QUESTIONABLE to play against the Broncos. The coaching staff will likely make him a game-time decision, so they’ll have as much time as possible before making a final call on his playing status. That said, the expectation is that Kelce will play.
Linebacker Nick Bolton returned to practice as a full participant for the first time since suffering the ankle injury that held him out of action for three straight games. All signs point to Bolton returning to the lineup in the middle of Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. Defensive end George Karlaftis was limited all week due to issues with his hamstring. He will be QUESTIONABLE for Thursday night.
A newcomer to the Chiefs’ Week 6 Injury Report is punter Tommy Towsend, who suffered an issue with his left knee. Towsend is now QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow’s game as well.
This game also marked the reunion for former Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark, who signed with Denver over the off-season. However, it appears Clark won’t be battling against his former Kansas City teammates this week after all. Clark has reportedly been battling an illness all week and has not participated in practice for the last two days. He is officially declared OUT for Thursday’s game.
