The Kansas City Chiefs began their 2023 preseason campaign against the New Orleans Saints without five players due to injury. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the absences leading into the game.
The five players who missed the first game included tight end Jody Fortson, wide receiver cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, Kadarius Toney and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton. Running back Isiah Pacheco, who has practiced in a limited capacity in non-contact drills, was also unavailable against the Saints.
When can fans realistically expect each of these players to return to the field?

Fortson is currently mending a subluxed (dislocated) shoulder which he suffered on July 28.
