Injuries have unfortunately been one of the NFL’s main storylines this season. Just this week alone, Vikings star wideout Justin Jefferson and emerging Dolphins rookie running back De’Von Achane were placed on injured reserve. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is dealing with a bruising around his rotator cuff, Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt plans to continue playing with a mangled finger and Travis Kelce continues to work through an ankle injury that has put his status for Thursday night’s game in question.
Fortunately for you, we’ve rounded up every NFL team’s latest injury updates and have included them in our Week 6 injury rundown. Here’s a look at each team’s injury situation entering Week 6, starting with the two teams that will face off on Thursday night.
Broncos: OLB Frank Clark (illness), DT D.J. Jones (knee), OLB Baron Browning (knee) OUT; TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
Chiefs: TE Travis Kelce (ankle), DE George Karlaftis (hamstring), P Tommy Townsend (left knee) QUESTIONABLE
While they’ll be without several notable players Thursday night, the Broncos will have Javonte Williams in uniform after the team’s starting running started the week as a limited practice participant. Safety Justin Simmons will also play despite being limited Monday and Tuesday while dealing with an injured hip.
Kelce, who is dealing with a low-ankle sprain, was limited the past two days after not practicing Monday. He practiced Wednesday with his right ankle heavily taped as he hopes to suit up on Thursday night.
Linebackers Jadeveon Clowney (illness), Odafe Oweh (ankle) and safety Geno Stone (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday in London. Odell Beckham Jr. was limited after leaving Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh early with an ankle injury. Offensive tackle Morgan Moses (shoulder) was limited after being inactive during last Sunday’s loss to the Steelers.
For the Titans, wideout Treylon Burks (knee) and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (shoulder) were among the five players that did not practice. Simmons told The Tennessean that he plans to play on Sunday.

Indianapolis placed rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) on injured reserve on Wednesday, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (concussion) and Braden Smith (foot/wrist) were the only active Colts that did not practice.
For the Jaguars, wideout Zay Jones (knee) was the only player that didn’t practice. Linebacker Shaquille Leonard (groin) was a full participant after he was inactive in Week 5.

Rookie defensive back Brian Branch (ankle) and fellow rookie Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) did not practice. Wideout Amon-Ra. St. Brown (abdomen) was limited. Lions coach Dan Campbell said he feels “a lot better” about St. Brown after he missed last week’s win over Carolina. Branch did individual work off to the side during practice, which is a positive sign.
Cornerback Dane Jackson (foot) was the only Bills player who didn’t practice on Wednesday. The team opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Baylon Spector who was designated to return. Spector (hamstring) was a full practice participant. Tight ends Dawson Knox (wrist) and Dalton Kincaid (concussion) were both limited.
