The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans released their second injury reports of the week on Thursday. Some players saw their participation upgraded as the practice week progressed for both teams.
Check out the injury report for each team down below:
* DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Chiefs DB Nazeeh Johnson was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday.
Chiefs DT Derrick Nnadi was added to the injury report with an Achilles, but he was listed as a full participant. He dealt with soreness in his Achilles earlier this season and has been able to play through it.
Remember, the Chiefs do not need to report the practice status of WR Mecole Hardman until he has been activated to the 53-man roster.

WR Brandin Cooks returned to practice for the Texans in a limited capacity on Thursday. It seems like he’ll have a chance to play on Sunday if all goes well during the rest of the practice week.
LT Laremy Tunsil also returned to practice as a full participant after missing practice on Wednesday. He should play on Sunday.
DL Roy Lopez and Kurt Hinish were upgraded to full participants, but DL Taylor Stallworth was downgraded to a non-participant.
