- Jaguars game status report: Travon Walker (wrist) returns to practice, questionable to play
The Jacksonville Jaguars will have to wait to see if pass rusher Travon Walker will play against the Kansas City Chiefs .
Walker had surgery on his wrist earlier this week and was originally labeled as "day-to-day" by head coach Liam Coen. He missed two days of practice but was a limited participant during the final practice before the game, opening the door to his potential return.

"We're going to go right down to the wire with it," Coen told reporters on Oct. 4. "It's just as much as he can keep getting the swelling and all that stuff. It's just a matter of that. I trust that if he says he can go, then we'll go."

Walker, in his fourth year with the Jaguars after being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has only missed two games in his career. Both came during his rookie season and he's currently on a 38-game consecutive start streak.
The pass rusher has a large black club on his left hand and would only be hampered by pain management as he recovers from the surgery. He likely wouldn't further damage the wrist by playing since it's casted.

If Walker cannot play, the Jaguars will use a by committee approach to fill his void.
Though they had a lengthy report throughout the week, Walker was only one of three players listed with a game status and he was the only starter listed. Meaning the Jaguars will be at or close to full strength.
Here's the full injury report for the Jaguars ahead of the Week 5 game against the Kansas City Chiefs:
