Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Nick Roesch | Last updated Sep 19, 2025 6:06 PM ET

The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants have completed their practices for the week, and will meet in two days at MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

Both teams have lengthy injury reports and will be down a couple of starters in this matchup. Let's examine the final injury reports for each squd.

Giants' final injury report


Player	Injury	W/T/F	Designation
LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles	Calf	DNP/LP/LP	Doubtful
LB Chauncey Golston	Ankle	DNP/DNP/DNP	Questionable
LB Darius Muasau	Concussion/Eye	DNP/DNP/DNP	Out
WR Gunner Olszewski	Back	LP/LP/DNP	Questionable
DL Rakeem Nuñez-Roches	Foot	LP/LP/DNP	Doubtful
WR Wan’Dale Robinson	Foot	LP/LP/LP	-
OG Jon Runyan	Back	LP/LP/LP	-
C John Michael Schmitz	Toe	LP/LP/LP	-
WR Darius Slayton	Groin/Calf	LP/LP/LP	-
OT Andrew Thomas	Foot	LP/LP/LP	Questionable
RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.	Calf	LP/LP/LP	-
DL Roy Robertson-Harris	Knee	FP/FP/FP	-
RB Cam Skattebo	Ankle	FP/FP/FP	-

KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related

Observations:

The Giants will be down two linebackers, including their starter Muasau. They could also be down a third LB in Golston, who although is listed as questionable, did not practice once this week.
The chances of former Chief Rakeem Nuñez-Roches suiting up and playing against his former team are slim after he took a step back on Friday and was held out of practice.
Olszewski, who is a backup WR and New York's top return man, also regressed on Friday and did not practice.
According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, Thomas is a true gametime decision after being limited in practice all week. It would be a major blow to the Giants' offense if he can't play.

Observations:

Coach Andy Reid told the media on Friday that he will get with the medical staff before deciding if Worthy will take the field on Sunday. The decision could take up until close to game time, but Reid did say that Worthy was moving around fast during practice.
Royals is also questionable, but logging back-to-back full practices is a good indicator that he will play. If he does, it will be the rookie WR's regular season debut.
It's no surprise that the Chiefs will be without Danna and Fulton since neither practiced at all this week. Fulton's time in K.C. so far has been injury-riddled, and being down a defensive lineman is unfortunate for a defense that is lacking quality at the position. Fortunately, rookie DL Omarr Norman-Lott played well last week, as did rookie cornerback Nohl Williams.
