Hunt (biceps) practiced in full Wednesday.

Hunt is strung together consecutive full practices and is trending in the right direction in his recovery from a torn biceps that he sustained in mid-September. He would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to play in Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Hunt could reclaim his starting job at right guard if he's activated from IR, which would likely result in Austin Corbett moving to a reserve role.

Bolton recorded 154 tackles (73 solo) including 1.0 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble in 17 games with Kansas City in 2025.

Bolton retained his role as the Chiefs' top linebacker after they signed him to a three-year, $45 million contract back in March, and he led the team in total tackles for the second straight year. In fact, his season tackle total was tied for the seventh-best in the league. He has reestablished himself as one of the better linebackers in the NFL and projects as a strong IDP option for 2026.

Dotson (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Dotson missed the Rams' last two regular-season games after spraining his ankle in Week 16 at Seattle, and now his availability for their wild-card game at Carolina is in jeopardy. Unless he returns to practice Thursday, there's little chance he'll be able to play Saturday.

Rochell (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Rochell was unable to play in the Panthers' Week 18 loss to the Buccaneers after entering the league's concussion protocol against the Seahawks in Week 17. He appears to be progressing in his recovery given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, but he would need to clear concussion protocol in order to be available for Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Rams. Rochell played exclusively on special teams across six regular-season games between the Panthers and Cowboys and finished with five tackles (two solo).

Salyer (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Salyer was sidelined for the last two games of the regular season after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 16 at Dallas, and he's still not at 100 percent as the Bolts' preparations for their wild-card matchup at New England begin. He'll probably have to participate in full at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Wallace (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Wallace hasn't played since Week 16 against the Seahawks. With Quentin Lake back from injured reserve, Lake should step back into his role as the Rams' slot cornerback.

Whittington (knee) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Whittington was injured in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. If he's unable to play Saturday against the Panthers, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell would be next up for wideout reps behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Brown (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice

Brown entered the league's concussion protocol during the Panthers' Week 18 loss to the Buccaneers. His ability to practice in full is a good sign that he is progressing in his recovery, but Brown would not be allowed to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Rams unless an independent neurologist were to clear him from the league's protocol. Thursday's injury report should provide clarity on Brown's chances of playing in the opening round of the NFC playoffs.

Ferguson (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Ferguson was estimated as DNP on Tuesday and has one practice left this week to get back on the field after he was injured in Friday's practice last week. If Ferguson is unable to play, Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson would be in line to handle the vast majority of tight-end snaps Saturday against Carolina.

Molden (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Molden sat out the team's regular-season finale at Denver because of a lingering hamstring injury, and it's still bothering him as the Bolts begin preparing for their wild-card tilt at New England. Unless he upgrades to full participation Thursday or Friday, he'll be expected to carry an injury designation into the weekend.
