Chiefs Release Cornerback Kader Kohou From Practice Squad

Overview

• Kansas City terminated Kader Kohou’s practice-squad contract after their Week 8 loss, opening two spots on the practice squad.
• Kohou joined the Chiefs this year on a reported one-year deal but never played a regular-season snap for the team.
• Kohou missed all of 2025 after a torn ACL with Miami and had worked back to health before signing with the Chiefs.
• Rookies and younger in-house options, most notably fourth-round pick Jadon Canady and Chris Roland-Wallace, have received larger slot roles and played well in Sneed’s absence.
• The roster move highlights how serious injuries and short veteran deals can accelerate depth-chart changes and give younger players long-term opportunities.
