We’re back with an all-new episode of the Chiefs Wire podcast! This week, we’re previewing the Kansas City Chiefs Week 7 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

We check in with this past week’s press conferences featuring comments from linebacker Nick Bolton, kicker Harrison Butker, and head coach Andy Reid as they look for back-to-back home victories against an AFC West rival.

We also flashback to Ed Easton Jr.’s NFL Draft Combine conversation with Los Angeles Chargers linebacker and former Washington State star Daiyan Henley. Lastly, Chargers Wire managing editor Gavino Broquez breaks down Los Angeles’ strengths heading into Sunday’s game.

Listeners can look forward to being well-informed about the Chiefs’ mindset heading into another Thursday Night Football game.

Daiyan Henley, who has missed the first two games with a hamstring injury, was on the practice field going through individual drills, according to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper.

Khalil Mack had a veteran’s rest day. There was no update on Chris Rumph.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa, Austin Ekeler miss second straight practice ahead of Week 2 vs. Titans

The Chargers had three non-participants on Thursday.

The Chargers continued their preparation on Thursday for their game against the Titans this weekend.

For the second consecutive day, Joey Bosa and Austin Ekeler were not on the practice field.

Bosa has not practiced as he’s dealing with a hamstring injury. Ekeler is nursing an ankle injury and missed Wednesday’s practice because he was in attendance for agent Cameron Weiss’ funeral.

If Bosa can’t go, rookie Tuli Tuipulotu will start opposite Khalil Mack. If Ekeler were to miss the game, Joshua Kelley would get the bulk of the touches.

Eric Kendricks was also a non-participant for the second straight day. Kendricks has a hamstring injury but was listed as out for personal reasons.

If Kendricks is unavailable, either Amen Ogbongbemiga or Nick Niemann would be in line to start next to Kenneth Murray.

Chris Rumph and Daiyan Henley were limited participants, both dealing with hamstring injuries.

Wednesday’s injury report for Chargers ahead of matchup vs. Titans

The Chargers had five players on the first injury report.

The Chargers had their first practice before Sunday’s matchup with the Titans on Wednesday.

Here’s a look at the team’s injury report:

Player Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game Status
EDGE Joey Bosa Hamstring DNP
RB Austin Ekeler Ankle/Personal DNP
LB Daiyan Henley Hamstring DNP
LB Eric Kendricks Hamstring/Personal DNP
EDGE Chris Rumph  Hamstring LP

DNP: Did not practice; LP: Limited participation; FP: Full participation

Brandon Staley said Bosa had some hamstring soreness after the game against the Dolphins and his status is to be determined.

If Bosa had to miss this weekend’s contest, rookie Tuli Tuipulotu would start opposite Khalil Mack. If Rumph is sidelined again, two will be elevated out of Andrew Farmer, Ty Shelby and Brevin Allen.

Ekeler is nursing an ankle issue he suffered this past Sunday in the loss against Miami. He was a non-participant on Wednesday as he was at the funeral of his agent, Cameron Weiss.

Staley said the same about Kendricks as he did about Bosa: he had hamstring soreness and his status is TBD.

Chargers’ final injury report ahead of matchup vs. Dolphins

The Chargers have two players listed as doubtful for Sunday’s contest against the Dolphins.

The Chargers had their final practice on Friday before the Week 1 matchup with the Dolphins.

Los Angeles will likely be without linebacker Daiyan Henley and edge defender Chris Rumph II, who are both doubtful.

They’re both dealing with hamstring injuries. Henley sustained his in the preseason finale against the 49ers, while Rumph injured his in practice on Wednesday.

With Rumph out, rookie Tuli Tuipulotu should see an uptick in snaps as a rotational piece. L.A. will likely call up an edge defender from the practice squad to fill Rumph’s void, like Andrew Farmer.

For the Dolphins, tackle Terron Armstead and defensive back Elijah Campbell are out. Cornerback Justin Bethel and tight end Julian Hill are questionable.

Wednesday’s injury report for Chargers ahead of matchup vs. Dolphins

The Chargers only had two players on the first injury report.

The Chargers had their first practice before Sunday’s matchup with the Dolphins on Wednesday.

Here’s a look at the team’s injury report:

Player Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game Status
LB Daiyan Henley Hamstring DNP
EDGE Chris Rumph II Hamstring LP

DNP: Did not practice; LP: Limited participation; FP: Full participation

Henley has been nursing a hamstring injury he sustained in the preseason finale against the 49ers.

The biggest takeaway from the injury report is that cornerback J.C. Jackson is not on it, indicating that he is fully recovered from his patellar tendon injury that ended his 2022 season.

“I’m not putting any limit on my knee. I’m ready,” Jackson said.

Having Jackson back on the field will be huge for a Chargers defense that hopes he can return to his All-Pro form when he was with the Patriots.

Chargers LB Daiyan Henley dealing with hamstring injury

The Chargers’ third-round pick sustained the injury in the preseason finale.

Chargers rookie linebacker Daiyan Henley is dealing with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Brandon Staley.

After Wednesday’s practice, in which Henley was a non-participant, Staley said that he sustained the injury in the preseason finale against the 49ers and would not offer a timetable for his return.

Before Henley’s injury was made known, Los Angeles claimed LB Tanner Muse. However, Staley said adding Muse was “unrelated” to his injury.

Henley, the team’s third-round pick, is coming off a stellar summer, earning Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded rookie linebacker from the preseason (81.9).

Henley is currently behind Eric Kendricks and Kenneth Murray on the depth chart. He is slated to be a core special teamer in Year 1, but Henley has flashed enough to get reps on defense in a pinch.

We will continue to update on the status of Henley once further information is released.
