What happened: Mike Garafolo said Mansoor Delane's X-rays were negative and the Chiefs rookie corner's shoulder was stable after Kansas City beat Denver 31-10. Initial concern was that Delane had suffered the same injury that sidelined him in the spring, but the hope is that this one will not be a bad one.

Why it matters: The update eases some immediate concern for Kansas City after Garafolo reported Delane was headed for a shoulder MRI earlier in the day. It also lowers the temperature around a repeat of the spring setback that had already put that shoulder in focus.

By the numbers: Kansas City finished the game with a 31-10 final. Harrison Butker led all scorers with 7 points, while Wil Lutz had 4 for Denver.

What to watch: The next step is the MRI Garafolo said Delane would undergo. That result should show whether the negative X-rays and stable shoulder hold after the initial scare.
