The Broncos and Chiefs released their final injury reports ahead of the season finale game this Sunday.
The Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs released their final injury reports ahead of their week 18 regular season finale this Sunday. This a must-win game for the Broncos since if they win, they’ll clinch a postseason berth while a loss could have them sitting at home next week. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have the number one seed locked up and this injury report reflects how they will approach this regular-season finale.
For the Broncos, they come into this relatively healthy. The only player ruled out is backup offensive lineman Frank Crum who is dealing with an illness. Running back Tyler Badie is listed as questionable but remains on the injured reserve, so we’ll see if he is activated before Sunday’s game.

As for the Chiefs, they have a lengthy injury report but it is because they are resting a number of players in this finale. As I stated earlier, this is a meaningless game for them since they have the number one seed locked up and will be resting a number of their key starters.
The Chiefs have ruled out tackle Jawaan Taylor, running back Isiah Pacheco, cornerback Jaylen Watson, and wide receiver Mecole Hardman for Sunday’s game. They have also listed quarterback Patrick Mahomes, linebacker Nick Bolton. running back Kareen Hunt, defensive end George Karlaftis, cornerback Trent McDuffie, defensive tackle Chris Jones, tight end Travis Kelce, safety Justin Reid, and linebacker Drue Tranquill as doubtful for the game. That is a star-studded injury report that will see multiple key Chiefs players sitting out this game.
Cornerback Chamarri Conner, tackle D.J. Humphries, defensive tackle Mike Pennel, wide receiver Nikko Remingo, and cornerback Chris Roland-Wallace are all without a game status and are good to go for Sunday’s game.
