C. Jones - DL

Jones (calf) will not practice Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Coach Andy Reid also declined to commit to Jones' chances of practicing Friday, leaving the star defensive tackle's availability for Sunday's AFC Championship Game murky at best. If the Chiefs are forced to operate without its regular-season sack leader, the team will likely turn to Derrick Nnadi and Khalen Saunders to play expanded roles once again.

M. Hunter - DB

Hunter was sidelined from Tuesday's practice due to a groin injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The severity of Hunter's injury is not known at this time, but it was enough to make him a non-participant Tuesday. The 26-year-old has spent time with the Giants and Broncos during his first two seasons and is now looking to make an impression at the Chiefs' camp. It will be advantageous for him to return sooner than later, as he is presumably on the outside looking in at a final roster spot as of now.

N/A

T. Mathieu - DB

Mathieu (shouler) was a partial-participant at Tuesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Mathieu hurt his shoulder in the Chiefs' second preseason game, but the issue was not considered serious. It looks like the Chiefs are going to ease him back into the swing of things at practice in order to ensure he does not aggravate the injury. The 27-year-old is entering his seventh season and first with the Chiefs. He is expected to start at strong safety.

N/A

G. Dieter - WR

Dieter (undisclosed) remained sidelined at Tuesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Dieter has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since the start of camp. He was originally expected to have a good chance at making the final 53-man roster due to his special team skills and close friendship with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, there are a plethora of other receivers competing for a depth role at the position, so a return to the field would certainly be advantageous for his chances at securing a spot.

M. Kemp - WR

The Chiefs officially placed Kemp (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Kemp suffered a torn ACL and MCL at practice over the weekend, so this move was just a matter of time. The 24-year-old pass catcher was suited up for all 16 games in Kansas City last year, but was considered a fringe-roster player heading into 2019. He will now be forced to focus on his recovery.

T. Hill - WR

Hill did not practice Tuesday due to personal reasons, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

It remains to be seen how long Hill will be away from the team, but it's good news for Kansas City that the wideout's absence is not due to injury. Hill played eight offensive snaps during last Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers and caught one of three targets for six yards. Assuming he resumes practicing without missing much time, Hill could be in line for increased work during Saturday's exhibition game against the 49ers.

F. Clark - DL

Clark is not practicing Wednesday due to a sore wrist, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The severity of Clark's injury remains undisclosed at this time. Clark is coming off a 13-sack 2018 season and is primed to serve as Kansas City's premier pass rusher when fully healthy. While Clark remains sidelined, Breeland Speaks should benefit from increased reps.

T. Smith - DB

IND

Smith is working as a running back Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Smith played as a cornerback at Central Arkansas, and will now work to translate his speed (4.32 40-yard dash) to the running back position. The 2018 sixth-round pick is also the top kick returner on Kansas City's offseason depth chart.

Added Jul 31 1:29 pm (EST)

N/A

D. Harris - LB

Harris (undisclosed) was placed on the non-football injury list Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The Chiefs signed Harris as an undrafted free agent expecting that he'd need time to recover from an injury sustained during his final college season. The Middle Tennessee product will not be able to practice until he receives medical clearance.

Added Jul 25 11:46 am (EST)

N/A

N. Sterling - TE

Sterling was released by the Chiefs on Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Sterling spent a bit more than a month with Kansas City after signing with the team in June. The 2015 seventh-round pick suited up for five games with the Jets last season, recording six catches for 47 yards. He'll look to compete for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

J. Murray - C

NYJ

Murray was forced to leave Tuesday's minicamp practice early due to a leg injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

The Holy Cross product spent last season primarily used as a depth offensive lineman, suiting up in just two games. It's unclear how serious Murray's injury is, but it's certainly not a good sign heading into training camp next month.

Phillips was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Phillips' time with the Chiefs did not last long, as the tight end signed with the team just over a week ago. The nine-year NFL veteran will look to latch onto another team before the start of training camp.

C. Cizikas - F

NYI

Casey Cizikas reportedly had surgery on Monday to repair a detached retina.

Cizikas is slated to need six weeks of recovery time. The Islanders announced prior to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final against Tampa Bay that Cizikas would miss the rest of the Stanley Cup Playoffs after leaving the Edmonton bubble due to an injury. New York stated that an official update on him would come at the conclusion of the playoffs.

Adam Pelech was hurt in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final, per coach Barry Trotz, and he is expected to need surgery.

According to reports, Pelech suffered a broken wrist and he wouldn't have been available for the rest of New York's playoff run. He wasn't able to play in Game 6 and the Tampa Bay Lightning eliminated the Islanders from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 2-1 overtime win.

T. Higgins - WR

CIN

Tee Higgins caught 3-of-6 targets for 35 yards in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns.

Higgins was promoted into three-wide sets tonight, playing more snaps in the first half (23) than he did in all of Week 1 (15). He played ahead of John Ross and rendered Auden Tate a healthy scratch. It was still a disappointing statline as Joe Burrow attempted 61 passes. Higgins was shaken up late after landing hard on the ball, but he stayed in the game. With A.J. Green off to a slow start, the Bengals should continue to try to develop Higgins' play-making ability. He won't yet be in the WR4 mix for Week 3 against the Eagles.

D. Sample - TE

CIN

Drew Sample caught 7-of-9 targets for 45 yards in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns.

Sample was involved early, but six of his nine targets came after C.J. Uzomah appeared to suffer a torn Achilles' tendon with 8:53 remaining. That, of course, will create a big opportunity for the No. 52 overall pick of last year's draft after he caught just five passes in nine games before landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Sample had a nice 2019 Combine after catching all of 46 passes for the University of Washington. It's hard to see there being much upside here, but tonight's seven catches are certainly an attention grabber. The Bengals are going to have to focus on quick hitters because of their protection issues. Sample will be ranked in the TE22-26 range for Week 3 against Philadelphia.

J. Ross - WR

CIN

John Ross was held without a catch on two targets in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns.

Ross was demoted this evening, placing a distant ninth in targets as Joe Burrow attempted 61 passes. Their timing was off on both attempts. It's been a highly unimpressive first five days to the 2020 season for the former No. 9 overall pick. With Burrow having little time to throw behind Cincy's woeful offensive line, the odds he and Ross will be hooking up for big plays with any regularity are remote.

G. Bernard - RB

CIN

Giovani Bernard caught 5-of-7 targets for 22 yards in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Browns, adding a three-yard carry.

His passing-game advantage wasn't quite as pronounced as Week 1, but Bernard still out-targeted Joe Mixon 7-4, out-catching him 5-4. Mixon did out-gain him 40-22. Bernard's lone carry appeared to be a four-yard touchdown out of shotgun late in the third quarter, but upon review he was ruled down at the one-yard line. The Bengals are holding back their offense by refusing to commit to Mixon as a three-down back, but there is no reason to expect Bernard's usage to change for the time being. It is not enough to carve out PPR value.

A. Hooper - TE

CLE

Austin Hooper caught 2-of-4 targets for 22 yards in the Browns' Week 2 win over the Bengals.

Hooper is now sitting on a 4/37/0 through two games as a Brown. His biggest contribution tonight came a on pick play to free one of his teammates for a nice gain. Hooper never had a fantasy prayer with Baker Mayfield attempting only 23 passes. A distant No. 3 passing option for a run-based, two-back offense, it already seems clear that Hooper has little shot at repeating last year's TE1 value.

K. Hunt - RB

CLE

Kareem Hunt rushed 10 times for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' Week 2 win over the Bengals, adding two receptions for 15 additional yards and a score.

Tonight was the stuff of nightmares for both opposing defenses and Nick Chubb fantasy managers, as the Browns had their 1-2 running back punch working to perfection. Chubb easily won the carry battle 22-10, but the Browns were comfortable using Hunt in any situation. That included the goal line(ish), where he scored a six-yard touchdown in the waning moments of the first half. The Browns were able to establish their will and dominate game flow tonight, but when they can't, Hunt is going to gobble up snaps as the comeback back. Game script shouldn't be an issue in Week 3 vs. Washington, but the WFT's stout defensive line will be. Hunt will be a back-end RB2.
