What happened: Chamarri Conner and Josh Simmons did not practice as Kansas City prepared for its opener. The official injury report listed Conner with a knee issue and Simmons with a back issue.

Why it matters: The absences leave both players' availability unsettled for Week 1. Simmons had already been the subject of coverage about potentially missing the opener.

What to watch: Kansas City's next injury report should clarify whether either player returns to practice before the opener.
