KC Chiefs vs JAX Jaguars Injury Reports
On the Chiefs’ side, Xavier Worthy has been a full participant all week in practice. Kristian Fulton has been a limited participant with an ankle injury while Omarr Norman-Lott popped up on Saturday’s injury report as a DNP.
While Worthy is likely to play, his shoulder injury sustained in Week 1 is still a re-injury concern. On the field, though, Worthy is incendiary. In his true season debut last week, he had seven touches for 121 yards, generating explosive play after explosive play for a previously vanilla offense.
Fulton has not played since Week 2. A solid cornerback whom the Chiefs poached from the divisional rival Chargers, Fulton has had a spotty injury career, missing at least two games in all six seasons in his career. Before coming to the Chiefs, he averaged playing just over 11 games per season.
Norman-Lott, Kansas City’s second-round pick in this past draft, has played in three of four games for the Chiefs, recording one sack and five tackles from the interior. If he is unable to go, expect Derrick Nnadi and Jerry Tillery to play more snaps with Chris Jones being deployed in his usual role as game-wrecker across the line.
The Jaguars have declared one player out – linebacker Yasir Abdullah. Abdullah had yet to play a defensive snap, but he has been a key special teamer for the Jags this season, playing over 70% of their special teams snaps. He missed last week’s win over the 49ers as well.
Travon Walker had yet to practice until Saturday, when he was listed as a limited participant. The former No.1 overall pick has had his best season to this point. He has a healthy 79.2 PFF grade with one of the better run-defense grades in the NFL. As a pass rusher, Walker has 14 pressures, recording a pair of sacks and four total quarterback hits.
Wyatt Milum is listed as Jacksonville’s swing guard. If he is unable to go, the Jags could elevate offensive linemen Ricky Lee or Sal Wormley off the practice squad. The Jags took Milum in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he has yet to make his NFL debut.
