Chiefs' Delane on Track to Play vs. Colts

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane is on track to play in Sunday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts, coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "There's a pretty good chance he'll be back out there," Reid said of Delane, who was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Delane aggravated his right shoulder injury three snaps into Monday's win over the Denver Broncos. It occurred seconds after the first highlight of his career, when he intercepted quarterback Bo Nix's pass intended for wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Delane's 5-yard return ended when he stumbled and fell, landing on his right shoulder. He did not return.

Delane missed the Chiefs' mandatory minicamp in June because he sustained a hairline fracture in his scapula, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Reid said Wednesday that X-rays and CT and MRI scans on Delane's shoulder were negative. The Chiefs traded up three spots with the Cleveland Browns, moving from the ninth pick to the sixth, to select Delane in April.

"Delane's interception there, the one play that he had, he did a nice job with that," Reid said. "That was a great job, [a] great way to start the game." The Chiefs placed linebacker Cooper Mc Donald, who sustained a right knee injury in Monday's game, on injured reserve. Mc Donald will miss at least four games.
