The Kansas City Chiefs will return home in Week 3 to play the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. Both teams are dealing with roster questions that should weaken both offenses. The Chiefs are missing Xavier Worthy, while Russell Wilson and the Giants are still waiting to see if they will have Andrew Thomas. The depth charts should be tested in the Week 3 primetime showdown.
Chiefs Week 3 Injury Report
Xavier Worthy (WR)
Worthy has been ruled out for Sunday night’s meeting with the Giants after suffering a right shoulder dislocation in Week 1. He did limited work during the week, but the team confirmed he will not travel. Kansas City loses a critical deep threat at a time when Rashee Rice is suspended.
Jalen Royals (WR)
Royals is listed as questionable with a knee issue. He has missed the first two games, though he managed to get some limited reps in practice before this one. His status will be a game-time call.
Travis Kelce (TE)
Kelce is not on the most recent report and is expected to play despite a previous collision with teammate Xavier Worthy.
Other Notes
Defensive end Michael Danna (quad) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle) are both ruled out, leaving the Chiefs short on depth on defense.
Giants Week 3 Injury Report
Darius Muasau (LB)
Muasau is sidelined with a concussion paired with an eye concern. He did not practice this week and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
Rakeem Nunez-Roches (DT)
Nunez-Roches is doubtful with a foot injury. Even if he dresses, his snap count is expected to be limited.
Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (LB)
Flannigan-Fowles is also doubtful due to a calf problem. His absence would leave the linebacker rotation thinner than usual.
Questionables
Receiver Gunner Olszewski (back), defensive end Chauncey Golston (ankle), and offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (foot) are all questionable. Thomas’ status will be closely watched, as he anchors the offensive line.
