As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team released updates on the injury status of several key players, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes and running back Kareem Hunt.
Here's what we know about their condition heading into the prime-time showdown.
Kareem Hunt Returns to Full Practice
Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, who was limited in practice on Thursday due to a quad injury, returned as a full participant in Friday's practice session.
This is an encouraging sign for Kansas City, as Hunt has been a productive force this season with 90 touches, 348 yards, and four touchdowns across four games.
His return to full practice suggests he is on track to suit up against the Buccaneers, bringing back his dual-threat capabilities in both the run and ing game.
Patrick Mahomes Listed on Injury Report for the First Time This Season
For the first time this season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has appeared on the Chiefs' injury report due to an ankle injury. Fortunately, he was a full participant in practice, indicating that the injury is likely minor and not expected to hinder his performance.
Mahomes' mobility and playmaking are crucial to Kansas City's success, especially against a formidable Buccaneers defense, so this is positive news for Chiefs fans.
Chiefs' Preparation for the Buccaneers
Kansas City's injury report shows a mixed outlook for the Monday night game. While Mahomes' full participation eases concerns over his ankle, the absence of key contributors like Smith-Schuster, along with Wiley's and Danna's limited status, could impact the team's depth.
However, with Hunt cleared for action, the Chiefs can rely on their running game to keep Tampa Bay's defense on its heels.
With two days remaining until the matchup, the Chiefs will continue to monitor their players and make final decisions regarding the game-day roster.
For fans, the return of Mahomes and Hunt should bring confidence as the team looks to maintain its momentum against a tough Buccaneers lineup.
