Danna (pectoral) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Danna missed the Chiefs' last three games due to a pectoral injury, but the 2020 fifth-round pick appears to be over the issue as he was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's injury report. Barring any setbacks, Danna should be able to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday. Across four regular-season outings, he's logged 14 tackles (eight solo), including 0.5 sacks.

Rotowire
Danna (rest) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Could be rested Sunday
Rotowire
Danna (rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Despite being a full participant at practice Friday, Danna's availability for Week 18 is in question. If the Chiefs -- who have already earned the third seed in the AFC -- opt to rest Danna on Sunday, it could pave the way for Charles Omenihu to get more snaps.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: One sack in loss
Rotowire
Danna recorded four tackles and one sack in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.
Danna recorded his first game with four or more tackles since Week 7 and came up with a big sack in the fourth quarter to force a Packers field-goal attempt. The 26-year-old played in 38 defensive snaps, which was fewer than both George Karlaftis (48) and Charles Omenihu (44). Danna has now compiled a career-high 6.5 sacks and 39 tackles on the season, but recently has been in a three-man rotation with Karlaftis and Omenihu, which should be monitored by IDP managers in the upcoming weeks.

Danna's 2022 campaign largely aligned with his previous two, but he did finish with career-high totals for both tackles and sacks. He's entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2023 and should maintain a regular role in the lineup for the Chiefs once again.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Full participant Thursday
Rotowire
Danna (calf) practiced fully Thursday.
Danna had missed the team's last three games with a calf injury, but his ability to log a full session Thursday indicates he's moved past the issue. If the 257-pounder is indeed cleared for action against the Bills on Sunday, he'd likely serve as a rotational piece on the Chiefs' defensive line.
