The teams playing on Monday night have released their injury reports. Nothing too crazy or unexpected with any of these four teams.
Kansas City, as expected, won’t have Kelechi Osemele or Sammy Watkins. The Watkins injury should result in more playing time and opportunities for Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman.
Buffalo has ruled out Dawson Knox (calf), while they’ve got four other notable players who are questionable, including John Brown, G Quinton Spain, LB Matt Milano and CB TreDavious White. Brown practiced fully on Thursday and Friday and was a limited participant today – he should be pretty much healthy.
The injuries are even sparser in the other game. The Cowboys don’t list anybody at all. With Arizona, their left tackle, D.J. Humphries, is questionable.
Elsewhere around the league, some traveling teams downgraded players to “out” (required by league rules when a player isn’t traveling to a game). Most notably, the Broncos have ruled out Noah Fant and Melvin Gordon (so it should be Phillip Lindsay getting the vast majority of the playing time at tailback for them at Foxborough). And Houston has ruled out tight end Jordan Akins.
