Kansas City's injury list consists of two players and neither missed a practice this week, so they appear to be completely healthy. The Packers are almost the complete opposite. Although the list is long, only three starters were listed as limited in Friday's practice. RG Junius Coston is likely to miss another game, but OL Tony Moll has started well in his place. Normally OL Jason Spitz would play ahead of Moll, but C Scott Wells might miss another game too although he was listed as full participation on Friday and Spitz may start again at center. The offensive line of Clifton, Colledge, Spitz, Moll and Tauscher have played well the last two weeks, so there should be no drop off on the offensive line. FB Korey Hall was limited too, but although the rookie starts, he comes out on three wide receiver sets and is often substituted with backup FB John Kuhn anyway. On defense, the loss of DT Ryan Pickett would be disappointing since him and DT Johnny Jolly have been a solid combination in the middle on run defense this season. However, DT Colin Cole and DT Daniel Muir are almost as good as Pickett and would fill in just fine. The injury list looks bad, but it shouldn't have a big impact on the game.
