NFL Insider Josina Anderson reports Saints DT Khalen Saunders (back) is a game-time decision for Thursday Night Football against the Broncos.
Saunders has been dealing with a back injury and the Saints will determine his status “early in the day” ahead of their Week 7 Thursday Night matchup against the Broncos. He has played in three games for the Saints this season, most notably intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the end zone and returning it for 37 yards in Week 5. Saunders is a rotational tackle the Saints will lose for stuffing the Broncos run game if he cannot play.
Chiefs declared DT Khalen Saunders, QB Shane Buechele, DE Joshua Kaindoh, OT Geron Christian, OT Darian Kinnard and DE Malik Herring inactive for Week 16 against the Seahawks.
The Chiefs' current 53-man roster is amongst the most healthy in the league.
Chiefs DT Khalen Saunders (elbow) is expected to miss four weeks.
Saunders played eight snaps in a rotational role before going down. He doesn't need surgery but is likely headed to IR.
Saunders notched 22 tackles (13 solo), one sack and one defended pass across 12 regular-season contests in 2019.
Saunders also had three tackles across three postseason appearances. After sitting out the first four contests of the regular season, the Western Illinois product managed to carve out a consistent depth role behind Chris Jones and Derrick Nnadi in the middle of Kansas City's defensive line. He'll now work to further his development over the offseason.
