What happened: The Kansas City Chiefs ruled out right tackle Jaylon Moore (concussion), wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), and running back Brashard Smith (hamstring) for Sunday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Smith injured his hamstring during Thursday's practice, prompting head coach Andy Reid to signal a likely game-day roster elevation for practice-squad rookie running back Jaydn Ott. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed (knee) and linebacker Cooper McDonald (knee) carry questionable designations, while quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) practiced in full on Friday alongside right guard Trey Smith (hip), safety Chamarri Conner (knee), and wide receiver Cyrus Allen (knee).

Why it matters: Moore's absence compounds Kansas City's offensive tackle attrition after the team placed left tackle Josh Simmons on injured reserve and waived linebacker Cam Jones earlier in the week. Seattle bolsters its backfield by activating running back Zach Charbonnet from the physically unable to perform list following knee recovery, though Charbonnet remains listed as questionable. Seahawks guards Anthony Bradford (knee) and Beau Stephens (knee) along with linebacker Tyrice Knight returned to full participation Thursday, while defensive end Demarcus Lawrence (rest) and backup quarterback Drew Lock (right elbow) practiced on a limited basis.

What to watch: Kansas City must formally activate Cooper McDonald from injured reserve by Saturday for the linebacker to suit up against Seattle. The Seahawks will finalize the status of linebackers Connor O'Toole (hamstring), Chazz Surratt (calf), and Drake Thomas (ankle) after all three missed Wednesday and Thursday sessions.
