Nick Bolton injury update<\/p>\n

Bolton sustained a biceps injury in Week 1, but it didn’t affect his ability to participate in Kansas City’s practice session on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

How long will Nick Bolton be out?<\/p>\n

Veteran linebacker Jack Cochrane is listed as Bolton’s backup on the Chiefs’ unofficial depth chart. Rookie linebackers Jeffrey Bassa and Cooper McDonald may also be able to fill in for Bolton if called upon.<\/p>\n
