Happy Thanksgiving, Chiefs Kingdom.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders have released their final injury reports for Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season. Keep in mind the Chiefs did not practice on Thursday, which means the listed practice participation will be in estimation.
“There are some unique weeks, but we’re making them consistent with what we do and working around it,” Chiefs HC Andy Reid said on Wednesday. “Make sure the guys get enough recovery time. They always have tomorrow off after the walk-through and then before they get to the hotel, so they have time to visit with their families (and) do what they need to do there.”
As for the injury situation, the Chiefs will get two players back from reserve lists and they’ll reinforce their team with practice squad elevations at tight end and kicker.
Here’s a look at each of the final injury reports, complete with game status designations. . .
