🚨🚨🚨INJURY CHAOS IN KC: The final Week 3 injury report drops a bombshell as the Chiefs eye a huge boost on offense with firepower set to return, but panic spreads with news that two key defensive players are ruled out, fans erupting on social media debating whether Mahomes can overcome the imbalance, whispers swirling that this could tilt the game in the Giants’ favor, and the entire NFL world is glued to every update heading into Sunday’s showdown.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (1) returns to the sidelines after a play against the Baltimore Ravens during the second half at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants have completed their practices for the week, and will meet in two days at MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

Both teams have lengthy injury reports and will be down a couple of starters in this matchup. Let’s examine the final injury reports for each squd.

Giants’ final injury report

Player Injury W/T/F Designation
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles Calf DNP/LP/LP Doubtful
LB Chauncey Golston Ankle DNP/DNP/DNP Questionable
LB Darius Muasau Concussion/Eye DNP/DNP/DNP Out
WR Gunner Olszewski Back LP/LP/DNP Questionable
DL Rakeem NuĂąez-Roches Foot LP/LP/DNP Doubtful
WR Wan’Dale Robinson Foot LP/LP/LP –
OG Jon Runyan Back LP/LP/LP –
C John Michael Schmitz Toe LP/LP/LP –
WR Darius Slayton Groin/Calf LP/LP/LP –
OT Andrew Thomas Foot LP/LP/LP Questionable
RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. Calf LP/LP/LP –
DL Roy Robertson-Harris Knee FP/FP/FP –
RB Cam Skattebo Ankle FP/FP/FP –

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

Observations:

  • The Giants will be down two linebackers, including their starter Muasau. They could also be down a third LB in Golston, who although is listed as questionable, did not practice once this week.
  • The chances of former Chief Rakeem NuĂąez-Roches suiting up and playing against his former team are slim after he took a step back on Friday and was held out of practice.
  • Olszewski, who is a backup WR and New York’s top return man, also regressed on Friday and did not practice.
  • According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, Thomas is a true gametime decision after being limited in practice all week. It would be a major blow to the Giants’ offense if he can’t play.

Observations:

  • Coach Andy Reid told the media on Friday that he will get with the medical staff before deciding if Worthy will take the field on Sunday. The decision could take up until close to game time, but Reid did say that Worthy was moving around fast during practice.
  • Royals is also questionable, but logging back-to-back full practices is a good indicator that he will play. If he does, it will be the rookie WR’s regular season debut.
  • It’s no surprise that the Chiefs will be without Danna and Fulton since neither practiced at all this week. Fulton’s time in K.C. so far has been injury-riddled, and being down a defensive lineman is unfortunate for a defense that is lacking quality at the position. Fortunately, rookie DL Omarr Norman-Lott played well last week, as did rookie cornerback Nohl Williams.
