Some notes
Just like on Wednesday, the Chiefs listed just four players on their report for Thursday — quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle), left guard Mike Caliendo (shoulder), right tackle Jawaan Taylor (knee) and cornerback Jaylen Watson (ankle) — and they were all full participants.
As was noted earlier on Wednesday, the Chiefs have chosen to leave wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) on the Reserve/Injured list, ending his season (more on that here).
For the Bills, just one player was out of practice: safety Taylor Rapp (back/hip). Bills head coach Sean McDermott has described Rapp’s status as “day to day.”
Left tackle Dion Dawkins (illness) did not practice on Wednesday but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday.
Cornerback Christian Benford (concussion) and linebacker Matt Milano (biceps/hamstring) were limited for the first two days of the week. It’s worth noting that Milano missed the Bills’ Week 11 game against the Chiefs.
Cornerback Taron Johnson (neck/shoulder) was downgraded to a limited participant after being a full participant on Wednesday. We found a note on Johnson’s injury here.
