The Chiefs survived the Colts on Sunday, 23–20, to keep their postseason pulse going. And that’s basically the assignment the rest of the way. But pulling off a win against a physical Cowboys team will largely be contingent on what the injury report looks like. And we have an idea after Monday’s season.

We got an early hint at where things stand from an estimated injury report shared Monday by writer Nick Jacobs. Two big names popped up: Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice. That’s not how you want to start the week.

Mahomes showed up with a groin issue but was listed as a full participant. That’s usually coach-speak for he’s going to play, and that’s how it feels for Week 13. Rice, dealing with a hamstring, was limited.

Being limited on the first day of the week isn’t exactly a cause for alarm bells to ring. However, his status will obviously be worth monitoring for the rest of the week.

A little good news: Isiah Pacheco logged another full practice. It’s his second since that knee injury in Week 8 sidelined him for three straight games. Xavier Worthy is still working through that same ankle issue he’s had for a few weeks now. Another limited practice, another reminder he’s not quite right yet.

The only two players who didn’t go at all: guard Trey Smith and tight end Noah Gray. That’s something to circle as the week goes on.

This is a developing story…
