Some notes
- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) was a full participant on Tuesday, a good sign for his chances to start against the Texans on Saturday. It is worth noting that Kansas City conducted a light practice to start the week.
- As expected, both safety Chamarri Conner (concussion) and left tackle D.J. Humphries did not practice. Given the short week, it’s unlikely Conner will make it through the protocol in time for this game.
- Kansas City listed four other players on their injury report, but they were full participants: offensive linemen Creed Humphrey (ankle) and Jawaan Taylor (knee), kicker Harrison Butker (left knee) and wide receiver Hollywood Brown (shoulder). Brown would need to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list if he plays in the game.
- The Texans listed six players out of practice on Tuesday, including center Juice Scruggs (foot) and defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi (ankle). Scruggs missed the Texans last game against the Miami Dolphins due to injury, and Fatukasi played just six snaps before exiting the matchup.
