In a highly anticipated rematch of last year's Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Both teams lead their divisions and have been dominant, but injuries to their linebacker units could impact this matchup.
Chiefs middle linebacker Nick Bolton has been placed on injured reserve due to a dislocated left wrist sustained while making a tackle, resulting in his absence for this week. The timetable for his return will hinge on the extent of ligament damage incurred.
Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay is dealing with a lower back injury and did not participate in early-week practices. However, as he is not listed on the injury report with any designation, it's likely he will play.

Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean has been placed on injured reserve due to a Lisfranc sprain. While it's uncertain whether this is the same foot affected by a previous Lisfranc sprain, it doesn't bode well for his return this season.
Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been ruled out against the Chiefs after sustaining a right elbow radial head fracture during a tackle in the third quarter of the team's game against the Cowboys. Goedert has a promising chance to return by the season's end but is expected to miss several games.
