If their latest injury report can be believed, the Chiefs will have one of their starting defensive ends available for Sunday’s game against New Orleans at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs removed Turk McBride, who has a sore shoulder and didn’t play last week in San Diego, from their injury list.

Of course, the information might not be airtight. Last Thursday, the Chiefs removed cornerback Brandon Flowers from their injury report only to list him again on Friday. He didn’t play against the Chargers.

The other starting defensive end, Tamba Hali, has an injured ankle. He didn’t practice and is unlikely to play against the Saints.

Also unable to practice were linebackers Pat Thomas (hamstring), Derrick Johnson (hamstring) and guard Adrian Jones (ankle). They are also unlikely to be available against the Saints.

Flowers (hamstring), running back Jamaal Charles (ankle), safety Jarrad Page (groin) and cornerback Patrick Surtain (quad) were limited in practice but have a better chance to play.
