This weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings are set to square off at U.S. Bank Stadium as part of the Week 5 slate of NFL games.

For the Thursday injury reports, the Vikings saw center Garrett Bradbury get his first full practice session in since suffering his back injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs listed 10 players on their injury report, including the same set of starting defenders that appeared on the list for Wednesday’s practice.

Here is the full Chiefs injury report for Thursday:

  • DT Matt Dickerson (Knee, DNP)
  • LB Nick Bolton (Ankle, Limited)
  • CB Jaylen Watson (Shoulder, Limited)
  • LB Jack Cochrane (Calf, Limited)
  • DL Chris Jones (Groin, Full)
  • DE George Karlaftis (Knee, Full)
  • CB L’Jarius Sneed (Knee, Full)
  • WR Kadarius Toney (Toe, Full)
  • LB Drue Tranquill (Wrist, Full)
  • OL Wanya Morris (Hip, Limited)

This list of names remains largely the same as Wednesday, with the only addition being OL Wanya Morris, who popped up with a hip injury on Thursday.

Morris was a third-round selection in this spring’s draft by Kansas City after splitting his collegiate years at Tennessee and Oklahoma. The offensive lineman has been a depth piece for the Chiefs to begin the year but made his NFL debut against the New York Jets last weekend by taking five snaps with the special teams.

Meanwhile, Matt Dickerson remained out on Thursday while working through his knee injury. He has appeared in three games for the Chiefs, largely as a rotational piece and has recorded 76 snaps this season with four tackles to his name.

Nick Bolton (ankle) and Jaylen Watson (shoulder) were both limited once again on Thursday. Bolton has missed each of the past two games, but he has been a key player for the defense when available. During the first two games of the season, he recorded 15 total tackles and PFF gave him a pass-rushing grade of 73.9 for his efforts.

The Chiefs and Vikings will each release one more injury report on Friday before their matchup on Sunday inside U.S. Bank Stadium.
