The Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts released their third and final injury reports of the week on Friday. You can find the injury reports from earlier this week here: Wednesday — Thursday.
Check out the injury report for each team, complete with game status designations, down below:
Chiefs
| Player | Injury | Participation* | Designation |
| WR Justin Watson | Chest | FP | – |
| WR JuJu Smith-Schuster | Shoulder | FP | – |
| WR Mecole Hardman | Heel | FP | – |
| WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling | Hip | FP | – |
| RG Trey Smith | Ankle | FP | – |
| LT Orlando Brown Jr. | Knee | FP | – |
| K Harrison Butker | Ankle | DNP | OUT |
| DE Mike Danna | Calf | DNP | OUT |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- Danna is quietly a big loss for Kansas City. He is third on the team in total pressures with eight so far this season. Malik Herring will fill in per Andy Reid.
- As for Butker, Andy Reid said he’s making progress. Reid called his injury, “a pretty good sprain.” He said he’d have a chance next week.
- Hardman was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. He’s a full go for Week 3.
Colts
| Player | Injury | Participation* | Designation |
| OT Bernhard Raimann | Ankle | LP | OUT |
| WR Michael Pittman Jr. | Quad | FP | – |
| DT DeForest Buckner | Hip | FP | – |
| DE Yannick Ngakoue | Back | LP | Questionable |
| WR Alec Pierce | Concussion | FP | – |
| LB Shaquille Leonard | Back | FP | OUT |
| LB Zaire Franklin | Shoulder | FP | – |
| S Julian Blackmon | Shoulder | FP | – |
| DT Grover Stewart | Shoulder | FP | – |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- Despite participating in practice all week, LB Shaquille Leonard remains out. That’s a huge break for the Chiefs offense.
- WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce carry no game status designation for Week 3. Short of a major setback, both players will return to the lineup for Indy.
- DE Yannick Ngakoue is listed as questionable as he deals with a back injury. I get the sense he’ll be a true game-time decision for the Colts.
