KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NEWS

Nazeeh Johnson - Limited practice Friday Johnson (concussion) was a limited participant at Kansas City's practice Friday.

Impact Johnson suffered a concussion in the team's Week 8 win over the Raiders, opening the week as a non-participant at practice Thursday. The cornerback's participation Friday is a step in the right direction, but he will still have to clear concussion protocol ahead of Monday's matchup with the Buccaneers in order to play.

Kareem Hunt - Logs full practice Friday Hunt (quadriceps) practiced fully Friday.

Impact Hunt opened Week 9 prep with a limited session Thursday, but his ability to handle all on-field work one day later clears up his status ahead of Monday's contest against the Buccaneers. In four appearances working as the Chiefs' primary running back this season, he's averaged 22.5 touches for 87 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four TDs on the ground.

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Remains sidelined Friday Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster was inactive for last Sunday's win over the Raiders, and back-to-back absences from practice cloud his status for Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. If Smith-Schuster is unavailable for the contest, Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins and Justin Watson would be in line to lead the Chiefs' WR corps versus Tampa Bay, with Hopkins likely to be more involved in the Chiefs' Week 9 game plan in his second outing with the team since arriving via a trade with the Titans.

Mike Danna - Limited to open week Danna (pectoral) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Impact Danna has missed the Chiefs' last two regular-season games due to a pectoral injury. The 2020 fifth-round pick will have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers. Across four regular-season outings, Danna has logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 0.5 sacks.

Kareem Hunt - Limited by quad issue Hunt (quad) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Hunt began Week 8 preparation with a limited practice last Wednesday due to a hip issue. This time around, the running back is contending with a quad concern, which makes his status worth monitoring ahead of Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. In the Chiefs' win over the Raiders this past Sunday, Hunt logged 42 snaps on offense en route to carrying 21 times for 58 yards and a TD while catching his only target for four yards.

Isiah Pacheco - Not ready to practice While head coach Andy Reid noted Thursday that Pacheco (fibula) is "doing fantastic," the running back is not ready to return to practice this week, Nate Taylor of The Athletic rep...

Impact The report suggests that Pacheco -- who injured his fibula Sept. 15 -- is unlikely to practice next week either, but that's not especially surprising, considering the initial estimate that he'd miss six-to-eight weeks. With that context, as well as Reid's encouraging comments Thursday in mind, it does seem that Pacheco could start inching toward a return to action in a couple of weeks or so, but for the time being Kareem Hunt will continue to lead Kansas City's backfield.

Nazeeh Johnson - Won't practice Thursday Johnson (concussion) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Johnson, who was placed in the concussion protocol during Kansas City's win over the Raiders in Week 8, will need to gain full clearance in order to be eligible for Monday's contest against the Buccaneers. In order to foster optimism about his chances of playing Week 9, Johnson will likely have to upgrade to non-contact practice activity by Friday.

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Still not practicing Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster, who was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Raiders, didn't practice ahead of that contest, and his continued absence from Thursday's session clouds his status for Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. If Smith-Schuster remains sidelined in Week 9, Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins and Justin Watson would be in line to lead the Chiefs' WR corps versus Tampa Bay.

Jody Fortson - Suffered torn ACL, meniscus Fortson (knee, IR) suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in the Chiefs' Week 8 win over the Raiders last Sunday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact The nature of Fortson's right knee injury which landed him on injured reserve Monday was previously unknown, but it's safe to say the tight end's 2024 season is over with this news. Signed to Kansas City's 53-man roster on Oct. 4, Fortson appeared in three games for the Chiefs and caught one of his three targets for five yards across 40 offensive snaps.
