Chiefs vs. Raiders Injury Report: KC Getting Healthy
Denny Medley-US PRESSWIRE
The Kansas City Chiefs are finally getting healthy.
For the first time this season, every single Chiefs player practiced in some form or another.
Here is the damage:
| Name | Position | Injury | Wed. | Thu. | Fri. | Game Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cassel, Matt | QB | Concussion | FP | – | – | – |
| Dorsey, Glenn | DE | Calf | LP | – | – | – |
| Hillis, Peyton | RB | Ankle | LP | – | – | – |
| Maneri, Steve | TE | Ankle | LP | – | – | – |
| Wylie, Devon | WR | Hamstring | FP | – | – | – |
There was a lot of excitement around Devon Wylie in the preseason, however he has yet to play in a regular season game thanks to a hamstring injury. His full participation yesterday is encouraging. If he doesn’t have any setbacks, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him returning kicks this weekend in an attempt to spark the KC special teams.
The Chiefs can also really use Glenn Dorsey and Peyton Hillis this weekend. Hillis is a load and can also catch balls out of the backfield to help keep the Raiders defense off balance. He will also enable the Chiefs to keep Jamaal Charles fresh.
As for Dorsey, is run defense will come in handy as the Chiefs face Darren McFadden. DMC hasn’t been very effective this season and the Chiefs would do well to keep that streak alive. Dorsey would certainly help.
