The Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts both released their first injury reports of the week on Wednesday. Both teams have several players listed on the injury report, but the majority of those players were able to practice in some capacity.
Check out the injury report for each team down below:
Chiefs

WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling | Hip | FP |
RG Trey Smith | Ankle | FP |
LT Orlando Brown Jr. | Knee | FP |
K Harrison Butker | Ankle | DNP |
DE Mike Danna | Calf | DNP |

- Andy Reid spoke on the Chiefs’ injury situation during his media availability.
- Mecole Hardman suffered an apparent injury in Week 2, but he returned to the game and was able to play through it. It appears that injury is a heel issue, but I’d still expect him to play this week despite his limited status on Wednesday.

WR Michael Pittman Jr. | Quad | LP |
DT DeForest Buckner | Hip | LP |

- Several Colts returned to practice on Wednesday including LB Shaq Leonard and rookie WR Alec Pierce.
