Pelissero also added that a familiar face to the Chiefs, wide receiver Marcus Kemp, will join the practice squad in his place. Kemp spent parts of 2018-19, 2020 and 2021 with the Chiefs, appearing in 44 career games. Don’t be surprised if the Chiefs call up the 27-year-old at some point to appear on their active roster as a special teamer.

Remember Marv Hubbard talking about how he just hated the Chiefs, hated KC, hated their fans. etc.  And that was before they were competing for SB spots.  Fun times. 

Yeah, I remember a Hubbard interview in some football magazine when I was 10 or 11 that made my blood boil. He could talk some smack.

The good news is the Chiefs are still starting Andrew Wylie at right tackle, who Crosby had his way with last year. In the two contests combined, Wylie allowed 13 total pressures — two sacks, one QB hit and 10 hurries — while Crosby racked up 15 pressures. That should serve as a confidence booster for the pass rusher heading into Monday.

Madd Maxx has been doing his thing this season too with 18 pressures which are tied for the sixth-most edge defenders. But Wylie has been much more sound in pass protection, getting beat just seven times so far this year. In a way, this matchup will be a test to see just how much the offensive lineman has grown from year to year.

The Chiefs started the regular season with tight end Blake Bell (hip surgery) on injured reserve and offensive lineman Lucas Niang (patellar tendon) on the physically-unable-to- perform (Reserve/PUP) list, meaning they would miss the first four games.

Reid had no update on Bell on his Monday Zoom conference call — but on Thursday, he did deliver a slight update on Niang.“He’s close but not quite there yet,” said Reid. “He’s working through it but he’s not ready to do that.”

Reid also had positive news on rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie (hamstring), who has been on injured reserve since his Week 1 injury. McDuffie will be eligible to return to practice after the Chiefs’ game on Monday night.

On Thursday, he was spotted watching practice without a helmet, which is usually a positive sign for progress.

“He’s doing great,” said Reid of McDuffie. “He’s got this week here. I think he’ll get back in there maybe next week.”

Linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who is suspended for another two games, has returned to the facility, per NFL rules.

“[Gay is] back in,” confirmed Reid. “He’s doing good. He’s doing good — looks like he’s been working out.”

Defensive end Mike Danna was limited in Thursday and Friday practice last week — and missed his second straight game on Sunday night. He continued to practice Thursday. Center Creed Humphrey was not spotted during the media look. The Chiefs will have more information on his status in the initial injury report that will be posted Thursday afternoon.

New practice squad WR Chris Conley has a locker but he was in meetings this morning so we didn’t get a chance to catch up with him. Did talk to WR Marcus Kemp, who was all smiles to back with Chiefs on practice squad. Couple of teams were interested but comfort with KC was key.

  • The Chiefs’ injury report comes with a couple of pieces of positive news for Kansas City: First, center Creed Humphrey’s Thursday absence had nothing to do with an injury; he was excused for personal reasons. Second, defensive end Mike Danna (calf) was back to being a full participant. That’s the first time that’s been the case since he suffered the injury in Week 2. Third, wide receiver Mecole Hardman (heel) logged a full practice after practicing both Thursday and Friday of last week in limited fashion.
  • With the good news for the Chiefs, there’s some bad: Harrison Butker (left ankle) did not practice. More on the Butker injury — plus four other status updates — here.
  • Another item to watch is the injury to right guard Trey Smith (pectoral), who was officially limited on Thursday. If the injury holds him out, Nick Allegretti becomes an option.
