What happened: Andy Reid said Wednesday that Delane is trending toward availability for Sunday night after the Chiefs sent him for a shoulder MRI earlier this week. The update points to a quick turnaround from the shoulder issue that surfaced Monday night.

Why it matters: Kansas City could avoid an extended absence for one of its top young defensive backs if Delane is cleared for the weekend. That would limit the need for secondary reshuffling heading into the Chiefs' next game.

By the numbers: Kansas City drafted Delane No. 6 overall in April and signed him to a $41.9 million fully guaranteed rookie deal in June.

What to watch: The next Chiefs practice report will show whether Delane is limited or full. Kansas City's final injury designation later this week should bring the clearest read on his Sunday night status.
