The Kansas City Chiefs, despite a strong 10-1 record, are facing more injury challenges ahead of their Week 13 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Kicker Spencer Shrader will miss practice due to a hamstring issue, while tight end Peyton Hendershot is heading to injured reserve with a calf injury.
With starting kicker Harrison Butker already sidelined, the Chiefs have signed Matthew Wright for added support. Hendershot's absence leaves the team with only two active tight ends, Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, as they navigate through a tough injury period.
Additionally, left tackle D.J. Humphries has been signed to the active roster, replacing defensive end Cameron Thomas, who was waived. The Chiefs' roster now stands at 51 players, as they await the return of Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu from injuries.
