Added snaps on tap With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having landed on injured reserve Thursday, Toney figures to see added opportunities in the coming weeks, Charles Goldman of the USA Today reports.
Impact Hardman isn't eligible to return to action before Week 15, so Toney should see his share of snaps in the meantime, beginning with Sunday night's game against the Chargers. In his second contest for the Chiefs since coming over in a trade with the Giants, Toney hauled in four of his five targets for 57 yards and a TD and rushed twice for 33 yards in the team's Week 10 win over the Jaguars.

Back to limited practice Valdes-Scantling (illness) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
Impact Valdes-Scantling missed Wednesday's practice, so his return to the field Friday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Chargers. If he upgrades to full participation Friday, Valdes-Scantling could approach the contest minus an injury designation, and if so he'd be in line for a key role for Week 11, with JuJu Smith-Schuster iffy due to a concussion and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having been placed on IR on Thursday.

Another limited practice McKinnon (hamstring/shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Impact McKinnon now has logged back-to-back limited sessions, so the running back presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Chargers. If he's available for the contest, McKinnon would be in line to continue to work in a change-of-pace/pass-catching role in Kansas City's Week 11 backfield behind starter Isiah Pacheco.

Lands on IR Hardman (abdomen) has been placed on IR by the Chiefs.
Impact With Hardman on IR and set to miss at least four games, as well as JuJu Smith-Schuster dealing with a concussion and iffy for Week 11 action, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore are candidates to see added snaps Sunday night against the Chargers alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness). Hardman won't be eligible to return to action before Kansas City's Week 15 contest against the Texans.

Set to miss another practice Hardman (abdomen) won't practice Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact The same applies to JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion), with the two also having missed Wednesday's practice. If Hardman and/or Smith-Schuster are limited or out Sunday night against the Chargers, added Week 11 snaps would be available for Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness), who is line to return to practice Thursday.
NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Remains sidelined Thursday Smith-Schuster (concussion) won't practice Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Nor will Mecole Hardman (abdomen), which sets the stage for what the two pass catchers are able to do Friday to be pivotal with regard to their chances of suiting up Sunday night against the Chargers. On the plus side for the Chiefs, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) is slated to return to practice Thursday and take the field along with fellow wideouts Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore.

On track to practice Thursday Valdes-Scantling (illness) is in line to practice Thursday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Valdes-Scantling sat out Wednesday's session, but his looming return to practice has the wideout trending in the right direction as Sunday night's game against the Chargers approaches. Meanwhile JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) are slated to miss practice again Thursday, and if either one or both are unable to play this weekend, Valdes-Scantling could be busy in Week 11, with Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore also candidates to factor in versus Los Angeles.

Logs full session Wednesday Wylie (elbow) was listed as a full participant on the Chiefs' injury report Wednesday.
Impact Wylie was forced out with an elbow injury during the Chiefs' Week 10 win over the Jaguars, though he appears to have quickly overcome this issue leading up to the first practice of Week 11. As a result, expect the 28-year-old to reprise his starting right tackle role against the Chargers on Sunday.
NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited at practice Wednesday McKinnon (hamstring/shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Impact Ahead of this past Sunday's win over the Jaguars, McKinnon was listed as questionable for the contest while he dealt with shoulder, hamstring and knee injuries. The running back ultimately suited up and played 24 snaps behind starter Isiah Pacheco, carrying once for two yards and catching six of eight targets for 56 yards. McKinnon appears to have shed the knee injury, and with no reported setbacks coming out of the Week 10 contest, his limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related. If that's the case, he should continue to see enough change-of-pace work this weekend against the Chargers to merit attention in PPR formats.

Set to miss practice Valdes-Scantling won't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact In addition to Valdes-Scantling, the Chiefs will also be without JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) for their first Week 11 practice. For now, Kansas City's top available wideouts are Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore as Sunday's game against the Chargers approaches.

Remains sidelined Hardman (abdomen) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact In addition to Hardman, JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) or Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) are also sitting out the Chiefs' first Week 11 practice, leaving Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore as the team's top healthy wideouts. Hardman was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Jaguars after missing practices Wednesday through Friday.

Not practicing Wednesday Smith-Schuster (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact Fellow wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will also sit out the Chiefs' first Week 11 practice, leaving Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore as Kansas City's healthy receivers for the moment. Smith-Schuster -- who remains in the NFL's concussion protocol -- now has two more chances to take the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
