Andy Reid said everyone who was available to do so practiced on Friday, and the injury report reflects that.
-
Anthony Hitchens was the lone addition to the injury report for Kansas City. He was a full participant in practice with a hand injury and carries no game status for Sunday.
-
The team removed CB Charvarius Ward and DL Chris Jones from the final injury report. Both players were limited on Thursday after returning from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Reminder: Teams are not required to list the game status of players who are not on the 53-man roster (i.e. Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and everyone else on the Reserve/COVID-19 list). They have until 4:00 p.m. tomorrow to activate those players. If they’re not activated tomorrow, they will be ruled out for Sunday.

The Steelers ruled out three players for Sunday. Friermuth and Wormley are key losses on both sides of the ball. Buddy Johnson could also be a significant loss with LB Devin Bush and LB Marcus Allen on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Their LB group now includes just Robert Spillane, Ulysses Gilbert and Joe Schobert.
