The Kansas City Chiefs have released their first injury report ahead of Week 10’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Chiefs have quite a few injuries to consider heading into Week 10, but it’s not nearly as bad as it could be. In fact, there are a few pleasant surprises. Both Patrick Mahomes and Xavier Worthy fully participated in practice on Wednesday. Worthy, in particular, feels like a blessing. He had a non-contact hamstring injury late in the fourth quarter of Week 9 vs. the Jets. Another pleasant surprise? A few more players are full participants after being limited in recent weeks.
Here’s a quick breakdown of each team’s Week 10 injury report. Keep in mind that clubs can add to the injury report through kickoff on Sunday. They will release game status designations on Friday, Nov. 13.

Observations
Justin Fields, Jeff Bassa, and Jaden Hicks are among the new names on the injury report with previously undisclosed injuries from Week 9. All players were full participants Wednesday, suggesting minor injuries.
Mansoor Delane is upgraded to a full participant in practice after being limited all of last week. It’s safe to say he’ll be back in the lineup on Sunday.
Travis Kelce is no longer listed as limited due to his ankle injury. That’s a positive sign for the veteran tight end.
Omarr Norman-Lott remains limited. The Chiefs need to decide on his status soon. Here’s what Andy Reid said about the second-year DT: “Yeah, actually doing well. So, we’ll see here in the next week or so where (DT Omarr Norman-Lott) he’s at, but he is doing well. And we’ll just see where it goes here in the next week or two, but he’s right on schedule.”
If Jaylon Moore can’t go in Week 10 vs. the Falcons, Joshua Ezeudu will get his second start of the season. Andy Reid had this to say about Ezeudu’s progress: “Listen, I think (OL Joshua Ezeudu) he’s done a nice job. I think he doesn’t say much, but he works his tail off, and I like what I see. He’s a good athlete, moves around well. I think he’s got a good fit with that group. The guys trust him.”

Observations
Pearce Jr. was listed as questionable with a back injury in Week 9, but played 15 snaps during the game. Andy Reid said about Pearce on Wednesday: “(DE James) Pearce is back for them, and he’s been a dominant player, so he’s a good football player.”
The Falcons placed DE Samson Ebukam and RB Brian Robinson Jr. on injured reserve last week.
