**Kansas City, MO -** Kansas City Chiefs fans can breathe a sigh of relief as veteran linebacker Drue Tranquill appears to be on track to play against the New York Giants this Sunday despite an initial injury report listing a knee issue.

Tranquill, a key component of the Chiefs’ defense, was listed on the team’s injury report earlier this week, raising concerns about his availability for the Week 3 matchup. However, latest reports indicate the injury is minor.

According to team sources, Tranquill participated fully in Wednesday’s practice and hasn’t shown any signs of being hampered by the knee. While the initial injury report caused some worry, the former Notre Dame star seems to have avoided any significant setback.

“He’s been a full participant,” said a team insider. “We’re not expecting him to miss any time.”

Despite the positive news, fans are encouraged to monitor Tranquill’s status leading up to the game. While currently expected to play, the situation could change.

Should Tranquill be unavailable, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is prepared to rely on rookies Cooper McDonald and Jeffrey Bassa to step up and fill the void in the linebacker corps. The young players have been impressing in practice and are ready to contribute if called upon.

The Chiefs face the Giants on Sunday, September 21st, and fans are eagerly awaiting the final word on Tranquill’s availability.
