One of them is offensive lineman Trey Smith, who is likely to miss the game after suffering an injury.
On Monday afternoon, the Chiefs released an injury report, although it was a bit unexpected because they did not hold a practice and they called it an “estimation.”, meaning a lot can change over the next few days.

“Today’s injury report is an estimation. We did not hold a practice,” the Chiefs posted on X.
Noah Gray, TE, Concussion: DNP
Trey Smith, OL, Ankle: DNP
Rashee Rice, WR, Hamstring: LP
Xavier Worthy, WR, Ankle: LP
George Karlaftis, DE, Thumb: FP
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Groin: FP
Isiah Pacheco, RB, Knee: FP
Chris Roland-Wallace, CB, Back: FP
Jawaan Taylor, T, Knee: FP
Smith’s likely absence was reported earlier on Monday, but Rice and Worhty being limited participants, at least in the estimation, will be a situation to monitor over the next few days.
Pacheco missed another game due to the injury, but his being estimated as a full participant is good news for his possible return on Thursday.
The Chiefs have to travel to Dallas for the Thanksgiving Day game, so there should be some clarity on the injury report before they land in Dallas.
