A pair of players returned to the field on Monday as offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and cornerback Steve Nelson, who have each been recovering from concussions, were cleared to practice.

Duvernay-Tardif has been in the concussion protocol since leaving practice early on Aug. 12 while Nelson has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion during the Chiefs' matchup with the Falcons on Aug. 17. 

Absent from practice on Monday were safety Eric Berry (heel), cornerback Step Durham (hip), defensive tackle Justin Hamilton (ankle) and safety Daniel Sorensen (knee).
