The Chiefs' Thursday practice report did not bring good news for Isiah Pacheco's availability for Sunday.

He remained out of practice with an MCL sprain in his knee.

Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that he does not expect Pacheco's injury to keep him out long term. It could keep him out of Sunday's game against the Bills, though.

Pacheco has 78 carries for 329 yards and a touchdown in eight games.

Chiefs wide receiver Hollywood Brown (illness) returned to full participation on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.

Offensive tackle Josh Simmons (persona) was the only other player besides Pacheco who didn't practice.

Right guard Trey Smith (back) remained limited on Thursday.

The Titans aren't long on talent when they have all hands on deck and their injury report shows that they've even shorter on it right now.

Wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. Both players missed last Sunday's loss to the Colts and Ridley is on track to miss his third straight game.

Tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) was downgraded to out after a limited practice on Wednesday. Offensive lineman Blake Hance (shoulder, back), edge rusher Arden Key (quad), edge rusher Jihad Ward (personal), and safety Xavier Woods (hamstring) were also out of practice on Thursday.

Defensive lineman James Lynch (shoulder) and wide receiver Bryce Oliver (knee) were limited participants. Running back Tony Pollard (neck), guard Kevin Zeitler (rest), and cornerback Darrell Baker (concussion) moved from limited to full participation.

One of the Chargers' major offensive contributors did not take his full slate of reps on Thursday.

Receiver Ladd McConkey remained limited with a calf injury after he was listed as limited on Wednesday.

In his second season, McConkey is second on the team with 43 receptions and 468 yards. He’s also caught three touchdowns in 2025.

But guard Mekhi Becton (knee) returned to the field after he was a non-participant on Wednesday. The Chargers listed him as limited for Thursday’s session. Tight end Will Dissly (illness) also was upgraded from DNP to limited.

Offensive tackle Austin Deculus (ankle), offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer (knee), safety Kendall Williamson (Achilles), and defensive back Beane Leonard all remained limited. Leonard is in his 21-day practice window as he returns from injured reserve.

Cornerback Cam Hart (illness) was added to the injury report as a non-participant. Long snapper Josh Harris (chest) also was added to the report as limited, but that’s because his 21-day practice window was opened on Thursday.

Safety Derwin James (ankle) was upgraded from limited to full, raising the chance he will not miss time with the injury.

The Chargers will play the Titans on Sunday afternoon in Nashville.
