Not expected to play Thursday Pacheco is among the Chiefs' key skill players not likely to see action in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to QB Patrick Mahomes, fellow RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, WRs Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson, as well as TEs Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. As Week 1 approaches, Pacheco is entrenched as Kansas City's lead back, so Thursday's contest should provide Deneric Prince, Carson Steele, Keaontay Ingram, Louis Rees-Zammit and Emani Bailey with opportunities to support their cases for depth slotting in the team's backfield.

Impact The report notes that Edwards-Helaire, who revealed last month that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder, has missed a number of practices in training camp, however offensive coordinator Matt Nagy indicated Tuesday that despite the 2020 first-rounder's missed time the Chiefs "know who Clyde is and what he's done," adding "he's a guy that's put a lot of good film out there. He's had a lot of valuable snaps here in Kansas City. We know what his strengths are, and we know how to use him." Along with Edwards-Helaire, Deneric Prince and Carson Steele are also in the team's running back mix behind Pacheco ahead of Week 1.

Impact Winchester suffered an AC sprain in his shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions.

Dealing with hamstring injury Williams did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Williams played 21 snaps (13 on defense, eight on special teams) and recorded one tackle in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit. With Kansas City playing against Chicago on Thursday, it's unlikely that the 2022 fourth-round pick will suit up for the preseason finale.

Across the Chiefs' two preseason games, Remigio has returned his two kickoffs for 31 yards each and added a 42-yard punt return in Saturday's contest against the Lions. He's also seen work on offense, accumulating five catches on eight targets for 51 targets across his two preseason outings. Remigio spent all of 2023 on the Chiefs' reserve/injured list with a wrist injury, and he has the endorsement of Toub to make the final 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Misses practice with knee injury Jones didn't practice Monday due to a knee issue, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Jones was active in Kansas City's preseason loss to the Lions on Saturday, logging 43 defensive snaps and 13 special-teams while finishing with two tackles, including a half-sack. He also recovered a fumble in the contest. Jones' ability to play on special teams could bolster his case for a spot on the Chiefs' 53-man roster, but the knee injury may hurt his chances if it's more than minor.

Dealing with hamstring injury Johnson missed practice Monday due to a hamstring issue, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Johnson logged 28 defensive snaps along with seven special-teams snaps in Saturday's preseason loss to Detroit without recording any stats. He's likely to make the 53-man roster as a backup corner and special-teams player if he's able to get healthy. It's not yet clear how severe the hamstring issue is or whether Johnson will be able to play in Kansas City's final exhibition contest Thursday versus Chicago.
