They had one player back at practice\u00a0after he missed what was a light day on Wednesday. They also had an entirely new defensive starter absent on Thursday, which could pave the way for some defensive snaps for one particular rookie.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of the second injury reports for each team in Week 15.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"chiefs-thursday-injury-report-for-week-15\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Chiefs\u2019 Thursday injury report for Week 15<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/table\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;hasFixedLayout&quot;:true,&quot;head&quot;:[],&quot;body&quot;:[],&quot;foot&quot;:[]}\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Injury<\/th>\n<th>Weds.\/Thurs.\/Fri.<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Rashee Rice<\/td>\n<td>Hamstring<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>QB Patrick Mahomes<\/td>\n<td>Knee<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RG Trey Smith<\/td>\n<td>Ankle<\/td>\n<td>FP\/LP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RT Jawaan Taylor<\/td>\n<td>Knee \/ Triceps<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TE Noah Gray<\/td>\n<td>Shoulder<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CB Trent McDuffie<\/td>\n<td>Knee<\/td>\n<td>LP\/LP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>S Bryan Cook<\/td>\n<td>Ankle<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Nikko Remigio<\/td>\n<td>Concussion<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Juju Smith-Schuster<\/td>\n<td>Rib<\/td>\n<td>FP\/FP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>OT Wanya Morris<\/td>\n<td>Knee<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/DNP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Hollywood Brown<\/td>\n<td>NIR (Personal)<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/LP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LB Nick Bolton<\/td>\n<td>Illness<\/td>\n<td>\u2013\/DNP\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"observations\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-s-font-size\">Observations<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;ordered&quot;:false,&quot;values&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Right guard Trey Smith going from a full participant to a limited participant isn\u2019t great, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean he had any setback. It could be a matter of planning with the extent and rigor of practice on Tuesday.<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Wide receiver Hollywood Brown was back at practice after missing Wednesday\u2019s practice for personal reasons.<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Linebacker Nick Bolton missed practice with an illness despite being a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He\u2019s the type who doesn\u2019t necessarily need to practice to play, as he\u2019s in the circle of trust with Steve Spagnuolo. That said, his absence on Thursday likely paved the way for rookie LB Jeffrey Bassa to see some snaps in practice that he probably wouldn\u2019t have otherwise had. It definitely bears monitoring heading into the final practice of Week 15.<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">Another limited practice for Trent McDuffie isn\u2019t exactly progress. His absence in Week 15 would change a lot about the team\u2019s game plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"chargers-thursday-injury-report-for-week-15\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-m-font-size\">Chargers\u2019 Thursday injury report for Week 15<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/table\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;hasFixedLayout&quot;:true,&quot;head&quot;:[],&quot;body&quot;:[],&quot;foot&quot;:[]}\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Injury<\/th>\n<th>Weds.\/Thurs.\/Fri.<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Keenan Allen<\/td>\n<td>NIR (Rest)<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/FP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Derius Davis<\/td>\n<td>Ankle<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/DNP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TE Will Dissly<\/td>\n<td>Shoulder<\/td>\n<td>LP\/FP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>LB Troy Dye<\/td>\n<td>Hip<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/DNP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>QB Justin Herbert<\/td>\n<td>Left hand<\/td>\n<td>LP\/LP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>OLB Khalil Mack<\/td>\n<td>NIR (Rest)<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/FP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>WR Ladd McConkey<\/td>\n<td>Foot<\/td>\n<td>LP\/LP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>DB Elijah Molden<\/td>\n<td>Hamstring<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/DNP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>G\/T Trey Pipkins III<\/td>\n<td>Ankle<\/td>\n<td>DNP\/DNP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"observations-1\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-s-font-size\">Observations<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list\" data-wp-block=\"{&quot;ordered&quot;:false,&quot;values&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\">\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">The Chargers are tracking to be without their starting return specialist, their starting strong safety, and their current right tackle starter, in addition to key depth at the linebacker position.<\/li>\n<li data-wp-block-name=\"core\/list-item\" data-wp-block=\"[]\">I get the sense that the Chargers are just being cautious with Ladd McConkey and Justin Herbert regarding their limited practice participation.
