Thursday's Injury Report

The Seahawks will head to Kansas City with three key players ruled out for Saturday's game: receiver Tyler Lockett, who had hand surgery earlier this week, nose tackle Al Woods, who will miss a second straight game, and safety Ryan Neal, who has been playing through a knee injury for the past two games.

The Seahawks also have four players listed as questionable: running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle/back), tight end Noah Fant (knee), receiver Marquise Goodwin (wrist/ankle) and running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle). Walker returned last week after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury, but was held out of practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. Dallas is looking to return after missing two games with a high ankle sprain.

Linebacker Jordyn Brooks does not have a game status after leaving last week's game with a neck injury, indicating he is good to go.

For the Chiefs, tight end Jody Fortson has been ruled out with an elbow injury, while defensive tackle Khalen Saunders is doubtful due to illness.

Wednesday's Injury Report

The Seahawks held six players out of practice due to injury on Wednesday, including running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle), tight end Noah Fant (knee), safety Ryan Neal (knee) and nose tackle Al Woods (Achilles). Outside linebacker Bruce Irvin (knee/heel) also didn't practice, though it's worth noting he has frequently gotten one day off of practice per week for much of the season. Also out, as expected, was Tyler Lockett, who had surgery on his hand on Monday.  

Outside linebacker Darrell Taylor was a full participant after not practicing a day earlier due to illness, while running back DeeJay Dallas, who is trying to get back from a high ankle sprain, was limited after not practicing Tuesday. Receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle/wrist) and linebacker Jordyn Brooks (neck) were both limited after being full participants on Tuesday.

For Kansas City, Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones returned to practice after being out Tuesday with illness. The only other change was the addition of safety Deon Bush, who missed practice due to illness.

Tuesday's Injury Report

With a Saturday game coming up, the Seahawks kicked off their practice week a day early, and they took the field Tuesday with six players sidelined by injury, and one, outside linebacker Darrell Taylor, out due to illness.

Held out of Tuesday's practice were running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle), tight end Noah Fant (knee), running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle), safety Ryan Neal (knee), nose tackle Al Woods (Achilles), and receiver Tyler Lockett, who on Monday had surgery on his hand and is expected to be out for this week's game, but could return as soon as next week, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.

Linebacker Jordyn Brooks, who left last week's game with a neck injury, was a full participant and is "determined to play" this week, Carroll said.

For the Chiefs, only one player, tight end Jody Fortson (elbow), missed practice due to injury, but illness is making its way through the defensive line, with three players sitting out, including Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones.
