KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Despite returning to practice from injured reserve, Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu and running back Isiah Pacheco will not play Sunday against the Bills.

“Both those guys I thought did a nice job with this week,” head coach Andy Reid said. “They were working on scout team and moved around well.”

Wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster, who missed the last three games for the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play.

“Juju’s had a good week as our other guys have in preparation against a good football team,” Reid said.

Smith-Schuster exited a Week 7 game against the San Francisco 49ers in the first quarter. He had seven receptions for 130 yards in a Week 5 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Kansas City re-signed him after he was cut by the New England Patriots in the preseason.

Everyone else on Kansas City’s injury report this week was listed as a full participant in Friday’s practice.

Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and Bills kicks off at 3:25 p.m. CT and can be seen live on KCTV.
