Overview
- Rashee Rice is expected to play Sunday after moving from limited drills to a full practice on Friday and being left off the Chiefs’ final injury report, a status confirmed by coach Andy Reid and ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
- Rice missed two games after a Week 4 hamstring injury but has shown enough recovery to rejoin the lineup and has 13 catches for 190 yards and a touchdown in four appearances this season.
- Kansas City’s Friday injury report listed cornerbacks L’Jarius Sneed, rookie Mansoor Delane and R Mason Thomas as questionable while defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott is officially out.
- Delane’s problem is a recurring shoulder issue that forced him to miss multiple practices this week and prompted Reid to say the team will ‘see how he does’ before declaring him ready.
- Denver could offset some losses with Patrick Surtain II returning after three full practices, a development that will shape how the Chiefs deploy Rice and game-plan for the AFC West rematch.
