Overview

• Head coach Andy Reid reported the defensive end suffered a hamstring strain that could land him on injured reserve.
• ESPN’s Nate Taylor and Chiefs Digest’s Matt Derrick both confirmed that an IR designation would effectively end his 2025 campaign.
• The 2023 first-round pick had been viewed as a developmental edge rusher, and his absence removes a key young option for the line.
• Other defensive players including Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) were also held from practice during Monday’s session.
• With under three weeks until the Sept. 5 opener against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, the setback intensifies pressure on Kansas City’s depth chart.
