KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Omarr Norman-Lott has waited a long time for his NFL debut. He might just get it this week, against the reigning Super Bowl champion.

A 6-3, 315-pound defensive tackle out of Tennessee, Norman-Lott was listed as full participation on the Chiefs’ first practice report of the week. Kansas City hosts Philadelphia in a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday (3:25 p.m. CT, FOX/WDAF Channel 4, 96.5 The Fan).

The Chiefs’ second-round selection (63rd overall) in April’s draft, Norman-Lott has been battling an ankle issue since last month. He aggravated the injury in the second preseason game, at Seattle Aug. 15, and hasn’t played since.

Interior pass-rush specialist

General manager Brett Veach said the Chiefs see the rookie as an interior pass-rushing complement to Chris Jones, something Kansas City can use this week against the Eagles.

As Andy Reid said earlier in the day, Chiefs wide receivers Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) didn’t practice. Worthy reportedly dislocated his shoulder on a friendly-fire collision with Travis Kelce, running double-crossing routes on the third play of the season Friday. The Chiefs had hoped to get Royals back for the Eagles game, but he may not debut until Week 3 on the road against the Giants.

Starting guard Trey Smith (knee/illness) and starting linebacker Drue Tranquill (knee), who had two sacks Friday against the Chargers, were limited at Wednesday’s practice. All other Chiefs were full participation, including rookie defensive end Ashton Gillotte, who left Friday’s game with an elbow injury but returned.

Eagles tight end misses practice

Philadelphia, meanwhile, was without starting tight end Dallas Goedert at Wednesday’s practice. The veteran playmaker, who had 44 yards and a team-leading seven receptions in Thursday’s win over Dallas, has a knee injury.

The Eagles also were without running back Will Shipley at Wednesday’s practice, although newly acquired Tank Bigsby figures to replace Shipley in both the backfield and on kickoff returns, against the Chiefs.
