KANSAS CITY, Mo.— The Kansas City Chiefs could be getting injured linebacker Nick Bolton back just in time after they lost his replacement, Drue Tranquill, and several other key players to injuries during last week’s loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Tranquill was still in concussion protocol on Wednesday when the Chiefs resumed preparation for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills.
But coach Andy Reid said that Bolton would continue to practice after they opened the 21-day window in which they must decide whether to activate him or put him on season-ending injured reserve.
Bolton has been out since having surgery for a dislocated wrist sustained during a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chiefs also lost starting safety Bryan Cook to what appeared to be a significant ankle injury in Green Bay, though most of the tests on it have revealed encouraging results. Reid called it “a sprain” and said that he was still being evaluated.
Mike Edwards and rookie Chamarri Conner are likely to replace Cook in the lineup.
On the opposite side of the ball, the Chiefs are preparing to play without left tackle Donovan Smith because of a neck stinger, and they are unsure whether running back Isiah Pacheco will be available because of a bruised shoulder.
Chiefs host Buffalo on Sunday, kickoff is at 3:25, pregame starts at 2 on K-Kountry 95
