- The Chiefs have no game status designations for Sunday, meaning that all 52 players on their roster should be at their disposal for Week 1. That includes Frank Clark, who was limited in practice on Friday after missing Thursday’s practice due to dehydration issues caused by a recent bout with COVID-19.
Cardinals
| Player | Injury | Participation* | Designation |
| C Rodney Hudson | NIR-rest | – | – |
| LB Markus Golden | Toe | FP | – |
| CB Trayvon Mullen | Toe | DNP | Out |
| DE J.J. Watt | Calf | DNP | Questionable |
| LS Aaron Brewer | Ankle | FP | – |
| TE Zach Ertz | Calf | LP | Questionable |
| OL Justin Pugh | Neck | LP | Questionable |
| LB Ezekiel Turner | Shoulder | FP | – |
| RB Jonathan Ward | Shoulder | FP | – |
| WR Rondale Moore | Hamstring | DNP | Out |
| OL Cody Ford | Ankle | DNP | Out |
| CB Byron Murphy | Illness | DNP | Questionable |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- ESPN’s latest on Ertz says that he’s trending in the right direction, but Saturday will likely determine whether he’s limited or full-go come Sunday’s game.
- Three players were ruled out in Moore, Ford and Mullen. Watt didn’t practice all week, but is being ruled questionable.
- With the injuries that the Cardinals already have at the cornerback position seeing Byron Murphy ruled questionable and a non-participant on Friday is a scary sight for Arizona.
- Golden and Hudson appear to be in the clear for Sunday.
