Vikings-Chiefs Thursday injury updates: Good news for Bradbury
Davenport was a limited participant while Bradbury was full-go Thursday
Minnesota Vikings center Garrett Bradbury was a full participant at practice Thursday for the first time since Week 1, and that could mean he’ll be back in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Bradbury continues to work his way back from a back injury he suffered in the season opener against the Bucs. Austin Schlottmann has filled in admirably at center, ranking 12th overall among centers the Pro Football Focus rankings, though he’s sixth overall in pass blocking.
Brian Asamoah, Lewis Cine, Marcus Davenport, Josh Metellus and Nick Mullens were limited participants for the second consecutive day.
Jordan Hicks, Brian O’Neill and Harrison Smith also returned to practice after Wednesday’s veteran rest day.
The Chiefs continued to list defensive tackle Matt Dickerson as the only player to not participate in practice with a knee injury.
Though most are full participants, the Chiefs now have 10 players on the injury report after offensive lineman Wanya Morris was added Thursday with a hip injury. Morris and linebacker Nick Bolton are the only Chiefs who were limited participants.
Jaylen Watson (CB), Jack Cochran (LB), Chris Jones (DT), George Karlaftis (DE), L’Jarius Sneed (CB), Kadarius Toney (WR) and Drue Tranquill (CB) were all listed as full participants with various injuries.
The Vikings and Chiefs are set to play in the nationally televised CBS late game. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. CT at U.S. Bank Stadium.
