Nwangwu (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Nwangwu went to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, and the 2021 fourth-rounder will not return to Sunday's contest. Isaiah Williams will likely handle returns on kickoffs the rest of the way.

Hernandez (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Packers.

Hernandez was considered questionable to play but he'll ultimately be out there at starting right guard versus Green Bay. The 30-year-old will be tasked with slowing down an impressive defensive line on the other side.

Young (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game at the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Before he departed in the second half, Young completed 15 of 25 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, had two carries for 10 yards and recovered his own fumble. Andy Dalton will step in for Young for the remainder of Sunday's contest.

Belton (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Belton logged three limited practices ahead of Sunday's game after missing both Week 5 and Week 6 with an ankle injury, but ultimately will not be active against the Cardinals.

Norman-Lott (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Norman-Lott had to be helped off the field late in the third quarter due to a knee injury. He was taken back to the locker room to have his knee injury evaluated, and the results of those tests will be worth closely monitoring given the numerous injuries that have plagued the Chiefs' offensive line this season.

Crawford (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Packers.

Crawford is dealing with an apparent ankle injury, which will now force him to miss his first contest of the year. In his absence, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson could see a slight uptick in usage as a reserve safety versus Green Bay.

Tom is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Tom logged two limited practices this week, but he is free of an oblique or back injury designation and good to go for Sunday's game. He logged 61 snaps last week and will look to continue with that volume as the Packers' starting right tackle.

Gardner is being evaluated for a possible concussion Sunday versus the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Gardner took a blow to the head in the second half of Sunday's matchup, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Jarvis Brownlee is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Taylor (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Chiefs hold a commanding lead in the fourth quarter, so Taylor's removal could be a precautionary measure. Wanya Morris has come in at right tackle in Taylor's absence.

Carson (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

Carson will make his regular-season debut after missing the team's first six games of the season while on injured reserve with a knee injury. The 23-year-old may be asked to draw a start at cornerback due to Trevon Diggs (concussion) being unavailable versus Washington.
