The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have released their first injury reports now that they’ve arrived in Phoenix, Arizona ahead of Super Bowl LVII. Both teams look much healthier than they did during their bye-week injury reporting just a week ago.
Check out the initial injury report for each team down below:
Chiefs
| Player | Injury | Participation* |
| QB Patrick Mahomes | Ankle | FP |
| RB Jerick McKinnon | Ankles | FP |
| RB Isiah Pacheco | Wrist | FP |
| LB Willie Gay Jr. | Shoulder | FP |
| RG Trey Smith | Ankle | FP |
| WR Kadarius Toney | Ankle/Hamstring | LP |
| WR JuJu Smith-Schuster | Knee | FP |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke about some of the injuries the team is dealing with on Tuesday. You can read his comments here.
- Justin Watson (Illness) and L’Jarius Sneed (concussion) have both been removed from the injury report entirely.
- No Chris Jones, despite reports that he’s “under the weather.”
- Surprisingly, Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) is not listed on the injury report despite being activated from injured reserve earlier this week. That’s rather telling about how healthy he is and has been.
- Kadarius Toney is the lone player listed as limited on Wednesday, everyone else on the report practiced in full. It’s safe to say that the bye week did the Chiefs well.
- As for Toney, he said on opening night that he was “definitely playing.” His practicing in a limited capacity could just be a means to ensure that happens.
Eagles
| Player | Injury | Participation* |
| OL Landon Dickerson | Elbow | FP |
| OT Lane Johnson | Groin/rest | LP |
| C Cam Jurgens | Hip/rest | LP |
| CB Avonte Maddox | Toe/rest | LP |
| DE Robert Quinn | Foot | FP |
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
- Last week, all of the Eagles players were listed as non-participants in practice all three days. Now, they’ve got two upgraded to full and three listed as limited. The bye week has seemingly done them well.
