Uh oh, Chiefs Kingdom. Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane is back on the injury report, officially added Thursday, and that shoulder issue just won’t quit. This isn’t just some new ding. Delane was a non-participant with a shoulder injury, the same exact one he battled through in training camp. And yeah, it’s also the same shoulder he aggravated way back in Week 1. Now, after Wednesday’s practice, it’s flared up again. That’s a brutal start to a career, right?
More Stars Limiting Practice
But Delane isn’t the only concern floating around. Travis Kelce, who was a full go just a day earlier, got downgraded to a limited participant Thursday because of his ankle. That’s a serious red flag for a guy who’s so crucial to their offense. L’Jarius Sneed, their star corner, made it back to limited work after missing Wednesday with a personal issue and a knee problem. You gotta wonder what’s going on there. Plus, wide receiver Rashee Rice is still limited for a second straight day with hamstring and knee issues, and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott is also limited with a knee injury.
Some Good News on the Horizon
It’s not all bad news, thankfully. Patrick Mahomes, with his knee issue, was a full participant for the second day in a row. Same deal for center Creed Humphrey (toe) and linebacker Nick Bolton (neck). At least some of their key guys are trending in the right direction, which is always a relief.
Still, seeing Delane’s shoulder keep coming back, and Kelce getting downgraded, means the Chiefs definitely have some health questions they’ll be watching super closely as the week wraps up. Fingers crossed for good news before game day.
