Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Practices in full Wednesday
Rotowire
Fulton (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
An ankle injury has prevented Fulton from playing in each of the Chiefs' last three games. The 2020 second-rounder appears to be past the injury, given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, and that puts him on track to play against the Lions on Sunday.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Fulton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens.
Fulton missed the Chiefs' Week 3 win over the Giants due to an ankle injury sustained the game prior, but he's got a chance to play Sunday after practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. If Fulton is able to play in Week 4, he'd likely serve as one of Kansas City's top reserve corners. If not, Josh Williams is projected to see increased defensive work.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Tallies five stops
Rotowire
Fulton recorded five tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to the Bears.
Fulton dealt with a knee injury early in camp but returned to practice Aug. 7. He suited up in his first preseason game Friday and played 46 defensive snaps. It's unclear whether his significant playing time was to knock off rust ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Chargers, or if it signifies Fulton losing ground on the cornerback depth chart.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Back at practice
Rotowire
Fulton (knee) was reinstated from the active/PUP list Thursday and was a limited participant in practice, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
Fulton started training camp on the PUP list due to a knee injury, but he was able to pass his physical and cleared to practice Thursday, though he was limited to individual drills. The sixth-year corner out of LSU is a longshot to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, but he could ramp up his activity enough to be available for the Chiefs' second exhibition game against the Seahawks on Aug. 15. Fulton signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chiefs in March and is slated to start at outside corner opposite Trent McDuffie.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Signs with Kansas City
Rotowire
Fulton agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networkreports.
Fulton rejuvenated his career in his lone year with the Chargers last season, turning into arguably one of Los Angeles' best secondary pieces. The 26-year-old parlayed the strong season into a significant deal with the Chiefs that includes $15 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $20.5 million, per Rapoport. Fulton has played as a boundary corner for virtually his entire career, but with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson already firmly set in their spots, it's possible the new addition could be utilized all around Kansas City's secondary.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: No longer under the weather
Rotowire
Fulton (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Fulton was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Raiders due to an illness and did not return. His ability to practice in full Tuesday indicates he's no longer feeling under the weather and should play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans. Fulton finished his first regular season with the Chargers with a career-high 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
The 26-year-old missed each of the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue in time to face his former LSU teammate and superstar wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, on Sunday. Expect Fulton to start opposite Cam Hart in the Chargers' secondary in Week 11.

Fulton will miss a second straight game due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 8. His next chance to suit up will be Week 11 against Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 17. Tarheeb Still, Dicaprio Bootle and Elijah Molden are candidates to see more snaps at corner opposite starter Cam Hart.

Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Tennessee.

Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Fulton was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Dicaprio Bootle to start opposite Cam Hart as part of the Chargers' top outside cornerback duo in Fulton's stead.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Fulton exited the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints after sustaining a hamstring injury in the third quarter, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The 26-year-old cornerback likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation by Friday in order to have a chance at suiting up in Week 9's matchup against the Browns. If he's unable to do so, expect Dicaprio Bootle to see increased work with Los Angeles' first-team secondary.

Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Arizona.
Fulton is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 6 against the Broncos. He didn't practice Thursday and Friday, and he could be a true game-time decision. Ja'Sir Taylor (leg) is also listed as questionable and Deane Leonard (hamstring) has been ruled out, meaning Cam Hart and Elijah Molden are the only healthy corners heading into Monday's game.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Gets questionable designation
Rotowire
Fulton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's outing against Denver.
Fulton looked like he'd be able to suit up after practicing in full Thursday and Friday, but he now has a questionable tag ahead of the Chargers' bye week return.

Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.
The 25-year-old cornerback was held out of practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Monday night. Fulton has appeared in 12 games for the Titans this season, recording 46 total tackles and five pass deflections.

Rotowire
Fulton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Fulton was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but evidently isn't healthy enough to suit up against Los Angeles. It's a boost to Justin Herbert and the Chargers' passing game, especially with Tennessee starting safety Amani Hooker (concussion) also ruled out. The Titans' cornerback trio will likely be Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary and Elijah Molden.

Titans' Kristian Fulton: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Fulton exited Sunday's game versus the Saints with a hamstring injury, Joe Rexrode of The Athletic reports.
Fulton has dealt with persistent hamstring injuries over the past two seasons, and it appears this issue flared back up during the first half Sunday. The 25-year-old logged two solo tackles before exiting versus New Orleans. With Tre Avery (hamstring) already inactive, Fulton's absence will leave Tennessee with three available cornerbacks between Sean Murphy-Bunting, Roger McCreary and undrafted rookie Anthony Kendall
