3 veterans ruled OUT for Kansas City Chiefs vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving

The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with significant injuries after their Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and have officially ruled three veteran contributors OUT for their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Star blocker Trey Smith — who occupies the right guard spot on Kansas City's starting offensive line — was the most notable player to be ruled out for the primetime contest. He is dealing with an ankle injury that kept him from participating in any of the Chiefs' practice sessions this week.

Tight end Noah Gray and defensive back Chris Roland-Wallace are also set to be sidelined in Week 13 due to a concussion and back injury, respectively.

Veteran offensive lineman Jaylon Moore is expected to fill Smith's spot on Kansas City's front-five. Gray will be replaced by preseason standout Robert Tonyan, who may see significant action for the first time this season.

It is unclear who will replace Roland-Wallace. The Chiefs don't have anyone listed behind Roland-Wallace on their unofficial depth chart, but Kansas City activated veteran defensive back Mike Edwards on Wednesday. Second-year safety Jaden Hicks could also get more playing time while Roland-Wallace is on the sideline.
