The Kansas City Chiefs have mostly good news on their injury report ahead of Sunday’s showdown with the Denver Broncos, with one familiar exception.

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster won’t suit up on Sunday after his nagging hamstring injury kept him sidelined through another week of practice.

Smith-Schuster hasn’t suited up since exiting KC’s win over the 49ers on October 20. Smith-Schuster’s issues appear to have started when he suffered “hamstring spasms” during practice on October 17 before his short-lived appearance the following Sunday.

The good news arrives with the rest of Kansas City’s injury report, as defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton returned as a limited participant for Friday’s practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday’s action due to a knee contusion. Wharton is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

Fellow defensive linemen George Karlaftis (abdomen) and Mike Danna (pectoral) were both full participants on Friday, completing a week of full practice for Danna and back-to-back full days for Karlaftis after being limited on Wednesday. Danna hasn’t played since October 7 and appears to be set to make his return after more than a month on the sidelines.

Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, who missed last week’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering a concussion in the previous week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, was a full participant throughout the week. When Johnson returns to the field, he could retake the starting No. 2 cornerback job, where he would leapfrog Joshua Williams following the loss of original No. 2 starter Jaylen Watson.

Wide receiver Mecole Hardman (shoulder/knee) was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to full participation on Friday. Running back Kareem Hunt (quad), after a now-typical day of limited action in the week’s first practice, was a full participant on Thursday and Friday. Neither member of the offense has a designation for Sunday’s game.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was a full participant in all three of the week’s practices and also carries no game day injury designation, meaning he’s good to go against Denver.
