Chiefs' Charles Omenihu Suffers Knee Injury in AFC Championship Game

Key defensive end ruled out for remainder of game, casting uncertainty on Chiefs' defensive strategy.

Charles Omenihu, a key defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs, suffered a non-contact right knee injury during the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Omenihu was ruled out for the rest of the game after initial deliberation during halftime.
Prior to his injury, Omenihu performed a strip sack on Lamar Jackson, contributing to the Chiefs' lead in the game.
Omenihu joined the Chiefs on a two-year contract before the 2023 NFL season and has since been a critical part of the team's defense.
The Chiefs' performance in the remainder of the AFC championship game and potentially the Super Bowl could be impacted by Omenihu's injury.
