BREAKING: 🚨 Chiefs Reinforce Defense Just in Time for Week 10 Showdown with the Broncos! 🏈

New Orleans Saints v Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting a couple of key contributors back on defense as they begin the second of their season. The team’s final injury report is out in anticipation of hosting the Denver Broncos for their AFC West showdown scheduled for Week 10 and they’ll be getting reinforcements both up front and in the backfield on defense.

The Chiefs have been without defensive end Mike Danna and cornerback Nazeeh Johnson for the last couple of weeks—three in the case of Danna—but both players have been full participants in practice and should return without issue to face the Broncos offense under new quarterback Bo Nix.

The return of Danna is the bigger addition of the two given his role as a reliable starter outside who has been key to the team’s run defense over time. Danna also set a career high in sacks last season with 6.5 in his fourth season.

The Chiefs’ injury report indicates that the defense is getting stronger and deeper.

So far this year, unfortunately, Danna has endured multiple injuries that have limited his productivity or kept him off the field entirely, the latest being a pectoral muscle injury that kept him out since Week 6. Danna returned to the Chiefs this offseason on a multi-year deal in free agency.

Johnson could also step into a starting role this weekend if the team likes his skill set on the boundary enough over the potential of Joshua Williams. The Chiefs have been waiting for someone to step up in the wake of Jaylen Watson’s ankle fracture, but so far no one has been able to convince the coaches that he is the answer. Williams has been plagued by penalties and inconsistent play while Johnson has been sidelined with a concussion.

As for other injuries, the Chiefs will still be missing wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on Sunday with a hamstring injury. Meanwhile interior lineman Turk Wharton might be a gametime call with a knee contusion that’s kept him from practicing this week.

The Broncos and Chiefs are scheduled to take the field at 12:00 p.m. C.T. on Sunday, November 10.
