Good for Week 15 Bolton (abdomen) carries no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact Bolton was a limited participant for the first two practices of the week, but practiced in full Friday and will be good to go for Sunday's contest. Bolton returned Week 14 against the Bills after spending five games on injured reserve with a dislocated wrist and finished that contest with eight tackles (five solo).

Activated off IR The Chiefs activated Bolton (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Bolton was able to participate in full this week and carried no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. He's played just four games this season as he's missed time with an ankle injury and, most recently, a dislocated wrist that required surgery. Bolton will resume his starting spot at middle linebacker and help bolster a Chiefs' defense that ranks fourth in the NFL in yards allowed per game (297.7).

Staying on IR through Week 13 Bolton (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday night's game against the Packers.
Impact The third-year linebacker was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, but it seems as if he's not ready for in-game action just yet. Bolton was able to log a week of limited practice sessions, and he's in line to miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday. Leo Chenal and Darius Harris should continue seeing increased work in Kansas City's linebacker corps until Bolton is ready to return to the field.

Impact Bolton tallied a season-high nine tackles over 45 defensive snaps before departing late in the second half of Sunday's win with the wrist injury. An MRI on Monday revealed that he dislocated the wrist, and with surgery on tap, the Chiefs now will be without the star linebacker until roughly mid-December, at the earliest. Drue Tranquill and Leo Chenal are both likely to benefit from upticks in snaps alongside fellow linebacker Willie Gay while Bolton is sidelined. Bolton had already missed three games earlier this season due to an ankle injury.
