The final injury report has Butker and Mike Danna out, so look to see some Malik Herring and more Carlos Dunlap. Bernard Raiman and Shaquille Leonard are out and Ngakoue is questionable for the Colts. The biggest issue is Willie Gay out on the suspension.

Both teams are missing important pieces but this is a normal week for the early season. We should see more of Leo Chenal but also of Darius Harris. Here's a piece on how he got here.

As he game approaches, it's time to consider the points of interest. This article has five--the Chiefs' passing game, twice, and the Colts' running game will stress our LB, our OL and our pass rush.

I also want to see how we game-plan a significant rushing attack while short one of our best run defenders. Leo Chenal will get some of the load and Darius Harris may get his first real opportunity.

The DL is interesting, though again I would focus on the running game given that Mike Danna is out. George Karlaftis and Frank Clark are both good run defenders but they don't have room to expand their snaps. Malik Herring and Carlos Dunlap are the obvious beneficiaries but neither is know as a run defender. Derrick Nnadi is good against the run, so we may see more of him, even in our nickel sets. Potentially Turk Wharton gets major play.

The flavor of the week at WR/TE seems to be of interest. The real point is that there are so many possible choices. Who gets lucky is largely up to the Colts. The OL has generated a better rushing attack for us. Will it continue? Pass rush never goes out of style. 

For what are you watching?
