Andy Reid and theĀ Kansas City ChiefsĀ couldnāt get above .500 in Week 5 of the 2025Ā NFLĀ season, falling to Liam Coen and theĀ Jacksonville JaguarsĀ on Monday.Ā Patrick MahomesĀ was able to guide the Chiefs to a go-ahead touchdown in the final two minutes, but their defense couldnāt stop Trevor Lawrence in the ensuing drive. Now, the Chiefs look to get back on track in Week 6 as they hostĀ Jared GoffĀ and theĀ Detroit Lions.
The Chiefs have been without wide receiver Rashee Rice for the first five games as he serves a six-game suspension. They were also without Xavier Worthy for a couple of games after he collided withĀ Travis KelceĀ in Week 1 and suffered a dislocated shoulder. Worthy returned in Week 4 against theĀ Baltimore RavensĀ but gave fans a scare when he was suddenly listed as questionable before being cleared to play against the Jaguars.

Despite Worthyās injury scare, the Chiefs were mostly healthy in Week 5 against Jacksonville. Only two key players were missing from Mondayās game due to injury: defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, dealing with a shoulder injury, and cornerback Kristian Fulton, recovering from an ankle issue.
On Wednesday, the Chiefs announced that everyone, even those listed on theĀ injury reportĀ for Week 6 against the Lions, was a full participant in practice. Those included Mahomes (groin), Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Jawaan Taylor (knee), along with the three previously mentioned injured players.
Everyone was a full participant in practice today.
