Joshua Williams - Past hamstring issue Williams (hamstring) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday night's regular-season opener against Baltimore, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site r...
Impact Williams has been dealing with a hamstring issue since mid-August, but it now appears he's fully recovered after being left off the Chiefs' injury report Monday. With the departure of L'Jarius Sneed this past offseason, Williams is projected to play a bigger role in Kansas City's secondary in 2024, starting opposite All-Pro Trent McDuffie.

Chris Jones - Officially past stinger Jones (shoulder) wasn't listed on the Chiefs' injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact Jones returned to practice last week and appeared to be on track to play in Thursday's regular-season opener, but Kansas City's injury report Monday made it official. With Jones back at full health heading into 2024, he's expected to remain one of the most dominant interior pass rushers in the NFL.

James Winchester - Practices in full Winchester (shoulder) was listed as a full participant during practice Monday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact Winchester was held out of practice for the final week of training camp to recover, but he should be ready to go for Thursday's season opener against the Ravens.

Samaje Perine - Set for role behind Pacheco As Thursday night's game against the Ravens approaches, Perine is in line to work in a complementary role behind lead back Isiah Pacheco, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Perine only signed with the Chiefs this past Wednesday, he should be in the mix for work behind Pacheco out of the gate this season along with rookie Carson Steele, given that Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been placed on the reserve/non-football illness list and will miss at least four games. It remains to be seen what sort of workload Perine will see versus Baltimore, but in the coming weeks the 28-year-old may be able to garner enough touches to merit lineup consideration in deeper formats.

Wanya Morris - Set for Thursday Morris (knee) was listed as a full participant at practice Monday and is not on the team's injury report for Thursday's game against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' offici...
Impact Morris tweaked his knee in the team's final preseason game, but he can be considered healthy, for now. A third-round selection in 2023, the Oklahoma product is expected to be Kansas City's primary reserve at offensive tackle in 2024.

Nazeeh Johnson - Ready for Week 1 Johnson (hamstring) was listed as a full participant during practice Monday and is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' off...
Impact Johnson nursed a hamstring injury during training camp while also continuing his recovery from a torn ACL suffered last season. The Marshall product hasn't suited up since 2022 when he appeared in 11 regular-season games and only contributed on special teams. He'll likely have a similar role this season, barring injuries to the Chiefs' secondary.

Jawaan Taylor - Returns Monday Taylor (shoulder) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact The 2019 second-round pick has been battling a shoulder injury since the mid-August, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Now that Taylor has returned to full health, he's projected to start at right tackle for the second consecutive season in 2024.

Hollywood Brown - Remains sidelined Monday Brown (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact The Chiefs open their regular-season slate Thursday night against the Ravens, and coach Andy Reid acknowledged to McMullen that the wideout is not expected to be available for the contest. Though Brown appears on track to be officially ruled out by the team ahead of Week 1 action, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com relays that Reid has noted that Brown's progress in his recovery has been very encouraging. In his anticipated absence versus Baltimore, fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy should have an opportunity to make their mark in fantasy lineups out of the gate.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Missing at least four games The Chiefs are slated to place Edwards-Helaire (illness) on the reserve/non-football illness list Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact Edwards-Helaire regularly missed practices during training camp due to what seems to be a recurring illness, and he also revealed in July that he deals with post-traumatic stress disorder. The exact nature of Edwards-Helaire's current ailment remains unspecified, but being placed on the NFI list will rule him out for at least the first four games of the season, and position Samaje Perine for a key backup role behind starting running back Isiah Pacheco. Meanwhile, UDFA Carson Steele bumps up into the No. 3 spot.

Chris Jones - Likely ready to roll for Week 1 Jones (shoulder) returned to practice last week and was a participant again Sunday, and he appears to be in line to play in Thursday's season opener versus Baltimore, Matt Derrick...
Impact Jones suffered a shoulder stinger in early August and didn't play in any of Kansas City's preseason contests, but his ability to practice of late suggests that the veteran pass rusher isn't at much risk of sitting out Week 1. An official update on Jones' status will come when Kansas City's initial injury report is released Monday.

Samaje Perine - Will suit up Week 1 Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Sunday that Perine will be available for the team's regular-season opener versus Baltimore on Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Perine didn't sign with the Chiefs until this past Wednesday, but that won't prevent him from being able to play in Kansas City's first game of the campaign. The veteran running back may not be fully up to speed on the playbook and thus could be held to limited work, and even when he's fully familiar with the team's system it's not clear how much work he'll log behind starting running back Isiah Pacheco. In addition to Perine, Kansas City's backup RBs include Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and intriguing rookie Carson Steele.
SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Brown - Missing another practice Brown (shoulder) isn't practicing Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Kansas City head coach Andy Reid indicated that Brown is the only Chiefs player who will miss Sunday's practice session. The wideout's absence further supports the expectation that he'll miss the team's regular-season opener against Baltimore on Thursday. With that said, Kansas City elected not to place Brown on injured reserve to open the campaign, so there appears to be optimism that he'll be back in action by Week 4.
