Overview

  • Multiple reports citing NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport say Norman-Lott sustained a torn right ACL in Week 7, ending his rookie season.
  • The defensive tackle was injured late in the third quarter against the Raiders on a play that drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty on tackle Stone Forsythe.
  • Kansas City had ruled him out for the remainder of the game, and Andy Reid said an MRI would determine the extent of the knee damage.
  • A second-round pick at No. 63, Norman-Lott appeared in five games with a 27% snap share and logged five tackles and a sack as the team planned to expand his role.
  • ESPN reports the Chiefs’ interior group now leans on Chris Jones, Jerry Tillery and Derrick Nnadi, with the team expected to seek veteran depth via trade and roughly $5.5 million in cap space available.
