Tyquan ThorntonWR · Oct 13Ankle · Surgery · Left · Back Jan 17, 2027 · Oct 13 | Injured Reserve | Ankle · Surgery · Left | Jan 17, 2027 | The transaction frees up a spot on the 53-man roster for linebacker Cam Jones, who was signed off the practice squad. After dislocating his left ankle in the Chiefs' Oct. 4 win over the Raiders and requiring surgery, Thornton is facing an estimated recovery timeline of 3-to-4 months, which means that he'll likely be sidelined until at least Week 17 or 18 in a best-case scenario. While Thornton is out, the Chiefs are expected to lean on Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen to handle more reps in three-receiver sets alongside starters Rashee Rice (hamstring) and Xavier Worthy. |
Andrew ArmstrongWR · 20h ago20h ago | Active | — | — | Armstrong started Sunday's game against the Chargers and played 42 of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps. The wide receiver caught one of two targets for 13 yards and logged one tackle on kick coverage. Armstrong will likely be elevated for the team's Week 7 contest against the Seahawks as well. |
Chamarri ConnerS · Sep 30Sep 30 | Active | — | — | Conner has still yet to make his regular-season debut in 2026 due to a knee injury he suffered before the campaign started, but it now looks like he's on track to do so in Week 4. He projects to start at safety next to free-agent acquisition Alohi Gilman on Sunday at Las Vegas. |
Chris JonesDT · Sep 25Sep 25 | Active | — | — | — |
Cyrus AllenWR · 21h ago21h ago | Active | — | — | Despite the absence of Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee), Allen was on the field for only nine of the Chiefs' 61 offensive snaps (14.8 percent). He drew a 20-yard pass interference penalty late in the first quarter before hauling in a four-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes on the first play of the second quarter, which was the first reception of Allen's career. The rookie wide receiver added a 23-yard catch midway through the fourth quarter, and he ended up finishing second among Chiefs wideouts in receiving yards ahead of Jalen Royals (24) and behind Xavier Worthy (73). Allen's small role in the Chiefs offense will dwindle even more if Rice is cleared to return for Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 25. |
Diego PoundsOT · YesterdayYesterday | Active | — | — | — |
Emmett JohnsonRB · 21h ago21h ago | Active | — | — | Johnson maintained his rotational role in the Chiefs offense, with his 18 offensive snaps well behind Kenneth Walker's 45. Given Walker's tremendous start to the season, Johnson is one of the premier handcuff running backs in fantasy, and his scoring floor would rise significantly if the former ever misses time. The Chiefs will take their 5-0 record on the road for Week 7 against the Seahawks on Oct. 25. |
Garrett NussmeierQB · YesterdayYesterday | Active | — | — | — |
Harrison ButkerPK · 20h ago20h ago | Active | — | — | Butker made field goals from 30, 44 and 50 yards while missing an attempt from 52 yards early in the fourth quarter. The kicker moves to 10-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on PATs through five regular-season games so far in 2026. |

Kenneth Walker IIIRB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Following the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Walker continued his early-season momentum with his new team, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games in a different uniform than the Seahawks. He now boasts 133.0 rushing yards per game, which prorated over a 17-game slate (2,261) would easily go past Eric Dickerson's NFL record 2,105 from the 1984 campaign and also mark the 10th 2,000-yard season in the history of the league. Walker's next chance to strike occurs next Sunday when he visits his former teammates in Seattle. |
L'Jarius SneedCB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Sneed was a limited participant in all three Week 6 prep sessions. The slot cornerback has recovered from his knee injury enough to suit up as a starter in Sunday's divisional contest against the Chargers. |
Mansoor DelaneCB · Oct 6Oct 6 | Active | — | — | The rookie first-rounder played 78 of 84 defensive snaps Sunday (92.9 percent) and was the only Chiefs player to log double-digit tackles. He's reached that mark in back-to-back games and is up to 20 tackles (14 solo) and three pass defenses (including one interception) through the first three games of his NFL career. Up next for the Chiefs is a Week 6 home game Sunday, Oct. 18 against the Chargers, whose offense has struggled with Justin Herbert under center. |
Nick BoltonLB · Oct 6Oct 6 | Active | — | — | Bolton played every single defensive snap during Sunday's win and finished as the Chiefs' second-leading tackler behind rookie corner Mansoor Delane (10). Through four regular-season games and heading into the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Bolton leads the team with 37 combined tackles, which is tied with Akeem Davis-Gaither and Jihaad Campbell for sixth-most in the NFL. |
Noah GrayTE · 21h ago21h ago | Active | — | — | Gray's third and final catch of Sunday's game was for 31 yards early in the third quarter. It was the fourth time in his six-year NFL career that he surpassed 50 receiving yards in a game, with the other three instances taking place in 2024. Gray's 39 offensive snaps were one shy of Travis Kelce, though the latter was nursing a right ankle injury during Sunday's game, and that health concern will be worth monitoring ahead of the Chiefs' Week 7 road tilt against the Seahawks on Oct. 25. |
Patrick MahomesQB · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | The Chiefs offense continues to be the Kenneth Walker show, as the No. 1 RB reeled off 100-plus rushing yards for the fourth time in five appearances to begin his tenure with the team. Meanwhile, Mahomes failed to record a touchdown pass for the first time this season after tossing multiple TDs in each of the first four contests. Considering Kansas City's receiving corps is particularly ravaged by injuries at the moment, the offense may continue to lean more on Walker's legs than Mahomes' right arm next Sunday at Seattle. |
Peter WoodsDT · 4d ago4d ago | Active | — | — | — |
Travis KelceTE · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Kelce was able to exceed two receptions for the first time since Week 2, finishing second on the team in targets and catches behind wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who caught all seven of his targets for 73 yards. Kelce has now reeled in 20 of 27 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns over five contests to open the 2026 campaign. |
Tyreke SmithDE · Sep 28Sep 28 | Active | — | — | — |
Xavier WorthyWR · 2d ago2d ago | Active | — | — | Worthy served as the Chiefs' No. 1 WR in Week 6 with Rashee Rice (hamstring/knee) on the pine, and the former paced the team in all receiving categories on an afternoon in which QB Patrick Mahomes didn't record a touchdown pass. There are bound to be weeks like Sunday in which a ground game led by RB Kenneth Walker keeps Kansas City's offense humming along, but if Rice continues to miss time, Worthy figures to be among the team's leading pass catchers on a weekly basis. |
