LB Jack Cochrane	Knee	FP	FP
CB Kristian Fulton	Knee	FP	FP

TE Jared Wiley	Knee	FP	FP

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

Observations:

As expected, the team announced that Royals did not travel with the team and will not play on Friday. He has been dealing with knee tendinitis since midway through the preseason. The Chiefs will hold a walkthrough on Thursday and will announce official game designations.

As long as there are no setbacks, it appears that Norman-Lott's status is the only one in question. The fact that he practiced yesterday and made the trip is a good indicator that he'll play.

WR Jalen Royals will not travel with the team. He is ruled OUT for Friday night’s game.

We did not conduct a practice on Wednesday. The below report is an estimation.
