Is Kareem Hunt playing today? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt is dealing with a toe injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Kareem Hunt has been one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ most valuable players this season.

He will look to make his presence felt against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13 as the defending Super Bowl champions look to earn their eleventh regular season win on Black Friday.

Kareem Hunt injury update

Hunt was listed on Kansas City’s Week 13 injury report due to a toe injury. However, Hunt’s condition did not affect his ability to practice this week, and he is expected to be on the field for the Chiefs’ matchup against the Raiders this afternoon.

How long will Kareem Hunt be out?

Though he is expected to play on Friday, it is unclear how much longer Hunt will remain on Kansas City’s injury report.

It is unclear whether Hunt will be the Chiefs’ starter in Week 13 because Isiah Pacheco is set to make his return to the field. Assuming that Hunt is the No. 2 running back on Kansas City’s depth chart behind Pacheco, the Chiefs will be able to rely on Carson Steele, Samaje Perine, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire as their depth options.

Will Isiah Pacheco play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a leg injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Isiah Pacheco was on a hot streak as the Kansas City Chiefs’ leading rusher before his season came to an abrupt halt when he fractured a fibula in the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Will Pacheco be ready to make his comeback on Black Friday when the Chiefs take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13?

Isiah Pacheco injury update

While Pacheco has maintained his designation for return from Kansas City’s injured reserve list, he was a full participant in both of the Chiefs’ practices on Tuesday and Wednesday, and may finally be activated in Week 13.

When asked about Pacheco and defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, who has also been designated to return from injured reserve, head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Wednesday that:

“I mean, as long as they’re (Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu) okay. We’ll check on it again today, I’ve been trying to take it day-by-day. If they’re good after today then we’ll play them, yep.”

How long will Isiah Pacheco be out?

It is unclear how much more time Pacheco might need to miss if he is unable to return to the field in Week 13.

In Pachecho’s absence, Kansas City has primarily relied on Kareem Hunt to lead its ground game. Samaje Perine, Carson Steele, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will also be available to play against Las Vegas.

Hunt has been filling in for Isiah Pacheco, who has been on Kansas City’s injured reserve list. While Pacheco is primed to make his return to the field in the coming weeks, Hunt is likely to remain a key part of the Chiefs’ offense.

Will Spencer Shrader play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs kicker

#Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader is dealing with a hamstring injury. Here are the latest updates. 

The Kansas City Chiefs recently added kicker Spencer Shrader when they were forced to place Harrison Butker on injured reserve.

While Shrader has done an admirable job in his two games with the Chiefs, he is already dealing with an injury himself.

Will Kansas City need to start a new kicker when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday?

Spencer Shrader injury update

Shrader has sustained an injury to his right hamstring and he was not available to practice on Tuesday or Wednesday.

While there may still be remaining hope for him to play against the Raiders, the Chiefs signed veteran kicker Matthew Wright to take his place on Friday if necessary.

How long will Spencer Shrader be out?

It is unclear whether Shrader will need to miss time in Week 13, but it seems likely that he will be sidelined on Friday given that he has missed two practices and Kansas City’s decision to sign Wright.

If Shrader is officially ruled out, Wright will take over as the Chiefs’ starting kicker.

REPORT: Chiefs DB Jaylen Watson ‘not expected’ to return this season

According to a report, #Chiefs DB Jaylen Watson is not expected to return to action this season after sustaining a serious injury in Week 6.

According to a report from the Kansas City Star’s Jesse Newell, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson is unlikely to return to action this season after sustaining a serious injury in Week 6.

Watson had been one of the Chiefs’ best defensive weapons of the 2024 season, and paired perfectly with star cornerback Trent McDuffie in Kansas City’s shutdown secondary.

The former Washington State Cougar was initially to have potentially his best season yet before breaking his fibula and tibia in the Chiefs’ win over the San Francisco 49ers.

After his injury was confirmed, Watson underwent surgery to repair his leg and fans were given hope that the star corner would be able to return this season.

Unfortunately, on Thursday, a tweet by Newell confirmed that a return this season by Watson would be highly unlikely.

Stay tuned to see if Kansas City moves to shore up its defensive backfield in the coming weeks.

Will JuJu Smith-Schuster play this week? Injury updates for Chiefs WR

#Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is dealing with a hamstring injury. Here are the latest updates.

JuJu Smith-Schuster injury update

Smith-Schuster was a full participant in Kansas City’s Wednesday practice session while he recovers from a hamstring injury that sidelined him earlier this season.

How long will Smith-Schuster be out?

Barring an unforeseen setback in practice this week, Smith-Schuster should be expected to play for the Chiefs against the Panthers.

Chiefs WR depth chart

Should Smith-Schuster be forced to miss Kansas City’s matchup with Carolina, the Chiefs will have to rely on DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, and Justin Watson to give Patrick Mahomes options in the passing game.

Isiah Pacheco injury update: Latest status report, news for Chiefs RB

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is dealing with a fibula injury. Here are the latest updates.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 2 due to a fibula injury.

In his absence, veteran rusher Kareem Hunt has stepped up to lead Kansas City’s ground game.

Could Pacheco make his return to the field in the Chiefs’ Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers?

Isiah Pacheco injury update

Pacheco was a limited participant in Kansas City’s Wednesday practice session. He was listed with an ankle injury, and seems like a long-shot to see the field when the Chiefs face Carolina on Sunday.

How long will Isiah Pacheco be out?

It is unclear when Andy Reid intends to get Pacheco back to action, but given Hunt’s outstanding performance as Kansas City’s lead back, it is unlikely that he will be rushed back into the starting lineup.

With Pacheco sidelined, the Chiefs have relied on Hunt, Carson Steele, and Samaje Perine to lead their ground game. Former first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire is also available to pitch in if needed.

Cook is expected to take the field on Sunday alongside Justin Reid, Jaden Hicks and Chamarri Conner.

If his availability changes, expect Spagnuolo to lean more on Christian Roland-Wallace against the Panthers.
