Some notes
- The Chiefs will head into their 19th game of the 2021 season on Sunday — so it is no surprise that there is an extensive list of players receiving treatment.
- The players we’re monitoring are safety Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) — who is still in the protocol — as well as cornerback Rashad Fenton (back) and running back Darrel Williams (toe). Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s updates on all three players can be found here. It’s a great sign that both Fenton and Williams were full participants — they’re tracking to make their returns to the lineup on Sunday.
- The only Bengals player to miss practice was defensive end Cam Sample (groin), a rotational defensive end. All of Cincinnati’s starters were full participants.
