Danna (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Danna missed the Chiefs' last two games due to a quadriceps injury that he sustained in Week 2 against the Eagles. He was able to practice without restrictions Thursday, and the 2020 fifth-rounder is trending towards making his return against the Jaguars on Monday. Danna's return would likely lead to a drop in snaps at defensive end for Malik Herring and rookie third-rounder Ashton Gillotte.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Remains out Week 4
Rotowire
Danna (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Danna has been dealing with a quad injury sustained during the Chiefs' Week 2 loss to the Eagles. He was a limited participant Wednesday before practicing in full Thursday. But, he was downgraded to a non-participant Friday, and he'll now be sidelined for the second week in a row. In his absence, Charles Omenihu and/or Ashton Gillotte should see increased work Sunday versus Baltimore. Danna's next chance to play is Week 5 versus the Jaguars on Monday, Oct. 6.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Likely out again in Week 4
Rotowire
Danna (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
The 27-year-old downgraded from full practice Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Danna has appeared in two games for Kansas City this season, recording two total tackles across 47 defensive snaps. If he's sidelined for the second consecutive time in Week 4, expect Charles Omenihu to see increased work on the Chiefs' defensive line.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Practices fully Thursday
Rotowire
Danna (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Danna was unable to play against the Giants this past Sunday due to a quad injury that he suffered during the Chiefs' Week 2 loss to the Eagles. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is past the issue and should suit up against the Ravens on Sunday, barring a setback. Danna's anticipated return will likely lead to a decrease in snaps at defensive end for rookie third-rounder Ashton Gillotte.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Returns to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Danna (quadriceps) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Danna sat out practice all week last week before being sidelined in Week 3 with a quadriceps issue, but it now looks like he's making progress toward returning to game action.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Misses Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Danna (quadriceps) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The 27-year-old from Michigan sustained a quadriceps injury in Kansas City's Week 2 loss to the Eagles, so it's no surprise he's missing Wednesday's practice. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play in the Week 3 matchup against the Giants. If Danna is unable to go, expect Charles Omenihu and Ashton Gillotte to see increased defensive work.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Dealing with quad issue
Rotowire
Danna suffered a quadriceps injury in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Danna exited Sunday's game in the first quarter with what was originally described as a hip injury, but head coach Andy Reid described it to be quad issue following the contest. The 27-year-old's status at practice will be worth monitoring ahead of the team's matchup against the Giants on the road in Week 3.

Rotowire
Danna (pectoral) didn't practice Wednesday.
The 26-year-old will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 7, when the Chiefs travel to San Francisco.

Danna was unable to play in Week 4 against the Chargers due to a calf injury he sustained during practice leading up to the game.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Inactive Sunday
Rotowire
Danna (rest) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The Chiefs are opting to rest Danna in favor of prioritizing his health for the playoffs. In his absence, the likes of Charles Omenihu, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, BJ Thompson and Malik Herring are all candidates to see extra snaps on the defensive line.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Could be rested Sunday
Rotowire
Danna (rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Despite being a full participant at practice Friday, Danna's availability for Week 18 is in question. If the Chiefs -- who have already earned the third seed in the AFC -- opt to rest Danna on Sunday, it could pave the way for Charles Omenihu to get more snaps.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: One sack in loss
Rotowire
Danna recorded four tackles and one sack in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.
Danna recorded his first game with four or more tackles since Week 7 and came up with a big sack in the fourth quarter to force a Packers field-goal attempt. The 26-year-old played in 38 defensive snaps, which was fewer than both George Karlaftis (48) and Charles Omenihu (44). Danna has now compiled a career-high 6.5 sacks and 39 tackles on the season, but recently has been in a three-man rotation with Karlaftis and Omenihu, which should be monitored by IDP managers in the upcoming weeks.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Another solid campaign in 2022
Rotowire
Danna racked up 27 tackles (nine solo), five sacks and two forced fumbles during the 2022 regular season.
Danna's 2022 campaign largely aligned with his previous two, but he did finish with career-high totals for both tackles and sacks. He's entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2023 and should maintain a regular role in the lineup for the Chiefs once again.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
Danna (calf) practiced fully Thursday.
Danna had missed the team's last three games with a calf injury, but his ability to log a full session Thursday indicates he's moved past the issue. If the 257-pounder is indeed cleared for action against the Bills on Sunday, he'd likely serve as a rotational piece on the Chiefs' defensive line.

Rotowire
Danna (calf) is out Sunday against the Buccaneers.
Danna picked up the injury in Week 2 against the Chargers, and he was unable to play Sunday against the Colts. His ability to log limited practices Thursday and Friday at least signals that he may be available in Week 5 against the Raiders.
