Conner recorded five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
Conner has had an inconsistent season, and that continued in Week 10. However, his modest stat line might be misleading, as he logged 32 snaps inside the box, usage that typically leads to plenty of opportunities for tackles. The Chiefs are entering their bye, but Conner should have a chance to bounce back in Week 11 against Denver.

Chiefs' Nick Bolton: Racks up 14 tackles
Rotowire
Bolton recorded 14 tackles (five solo), including one tackle for loss in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
Bolton saw his snaps dip slightly in Weeks 7 and 8, but he returned to a 100 percent clip in Week 9. He responded by matching his season-high with 14 tackles, although only five were solo. Bolton is having a bounce-back season after a disappointing 2024.

Chiefs' Trent McDuffie: Huge performance against Buffalo
Rotowire
McDuffie recorded 12 tackles (five solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
The Chiefs shuffled their secondary alignment in Week 9, with McDuffie logging a season-high 28 snaps from the slot. That led to 35 snaps in a run defense role, which helped McDuffie tally a career-high 12 tackles. It remains to be seen if this usage carries forward, but it would benefit McDuffie's IDP outlook.

Herring (knee) signed to the Chiefs practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After being waived from the 53-man roster so the Chiefs could re-sign Mike Pennel, Herring is back on the team's practice squad. Herring has been with the Chiefs since 2021, appearing in two games so far this year and 12 in 2024.

Rotowire
Karlaftis recorded three total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed in Monday night's 28-7 win over the Commanders.
Karlaftis was able to get to Marcus Mariota in the first quarter, securing his first full sack since Week 4. The defensive lineman has now registered 26 total tackles (16 solo), including 4.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery over eight games this year.

Chiefs' Mike Danna: Gets sack and interception
Rotowire
Danna recorded three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception during Monday's 28-7 win versus the Commanders.
Danna's interception came in the middle of the first quarter when a screen pass bounced off wideout Deebo Samuel's chest in the red zone, and his sack came late in the third quarter when he ran unblocked right through the middle of Washington's offensive line. He'll look to build on Monday's success in Week 9 at Buffalo.

Chiefs' Nick Bolton: Fine day vs. Commanders
Rotowire
Bolton recorded six tackles (one solo) during Monday's 28-7 win versus Washington.
Bolton has now racked up at least six total tackles in all but one of his games this season, keeping him well on pace for 100-plus on the year. He should have plenty more chances to make tackles in Week 9 against a run-heavy Buffalo offense.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Chiefs' leading tackler Monday
Rotowire
Conner recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Monday's 28-7 win versus the Commanders.
Despite a relatively low-tempo attack from the Washington offense in Week 8, Conner was able to log double digits in the tackle column for the third time this season. He's firmly on the IDP radar heading into a Week 9 tilt at Buffalo.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Upgrades to full practice
Rotowire
Watson (back) upgraded to a full practice Friday.
Watson was limited Thursday but should be ready to roll Monday night against Washington. Watson has started all seven games this season, recording 30 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass breakups, including one interception, on 96 percent of the defensive snaps.

Chiefs' Jaylen Watson: Listed as limited in practice
Rotowire
Watson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Watson appears to have picked up a back injury during Kansas City's blowout 31-0 win over the Raiders in Week 7, in which he played a season-low 71 percent of defensive snaps. Of course, since the Chiefs also benched multiple starters once the victory over Las Vegas was well in hand, it's difficult to put too much weight on Watson's low snap count. If he's unable to resume practicing in full Friday and/or Saturday, Watson will likely be assigned an injury designation for Monday Night Football versus Washington.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Just two tackles in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Conner tallied two tackles (one solo) during the Chiefs' 31-0 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
Conner played just 26 defensive snaps in Week 7, however, that led all Kansas City defenders as the Chiefs pulled their starters for the fourth quarter, and his two stops were his lowest since Week 9 of the 2024 season against the Buccaneers (one). The 2023 fourth-rounder is up to 53 tackles through seven regular-season games, which is second most on the Chiefs behind linebacker Nick Bolton (55).

Chiefs' Omarr Norman-Lott: Officially placed on IR
Rotowire
The Chiefs placed Norman-Lott (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Norman-Lott tore his ACL during the Chiefs' Week 7 win over the Raiders on Sunday. The injury will sideline the rookie second-rounder for the rest of the 2025 season, and he'll turn his attention toward his recovery and to be ready for the start of training camp in July of 2026. He'll end his first NFL regular season with five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks. Jerry Tillery should see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle in Norman-Lott's absence.

Chiefs' Nick Bolton: Quiet day against Raiders
Rotowire
Bolton recorded two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.
Bolton played 95 percent of defensive snaps, but he still had limited opportunity because the Raiders ran only 30 offensive plays. While it was a disappointing performance, he had recorded at least six tackles in all of his games prior to Sunday. Bolton should be in for a bounce-back performance in Week 8 against the Commanders.

Chiefs' Omarr Norman-Lott: Sustains torn ACL
Rotowire
Norman-Lott sustained a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Norman-Lott exited the Chiefs' Week 7 win in the third quarter due to a knee injury, which has now been revealed to be a torn ACL. The rookie defensive tackle from Tennessee had played just 70 defensive snaps through his first five NFL games, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. Now that he's expected to miss the remainder of Kansas City's 2025 campaign, expect Jerry Tillery to operate as the team's top reserve interior defensive lineman.

Chiefs' Omarr Norman-Lott: Won't return vs. Las Vegas
Rotowire
Norman-Lott (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Norman-Lott had to be helped off the field late in the third quarter due to a knee injury. He was taken back to the locker room to have his knee injury evaluated, and the results of those tests will be worth closely monitoring given the numerous injuries that have plagued the Chiefs' offensive line this season.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Remains inactive
Rotowire
Fulton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Fulton was sidelined by an ankle injury early in the season, but he didn't appear on the injury report at all leading up to Sunday's game against the Raiders. He appears to have slipped behind Josh Williams on the depth chart due to special teams usage.

Lions' Jammie Robinson: Agrees with Lions on one-year deal
Rotowire
Detroit signed Robinson to a one-year contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Robinson's most recent NFL regular-season action came in Week 7 last season with Carolina. He was cut shortly thereafter having logged just 73 defensive snaps over 21 contests with the Panthers across two seasons, though he also played extensively on special teams. Robinson will give the Lions some depth in a secondary that won't have Brian Branch (suspension) for Monday's game against Tampa Bay and that is also dealing with several injuries.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Career-high 14 tackles in win
Rotowire
Conner piled up 14 tackles (10 solo) and one forced fumble in the Chiefs' win over the Lions on Sunday.
Conner's 14 total tackles and 10 solo tackles marked new career-highs for the third-year defensive back. His forced fumble on Amon-Ra St. Brown in the fourth quarter helped lead to a Lions punt two plays later. On the season, Conner has played more than 99 percent of the defensive snaps, logging 51 tackles (29 solo) and a pair of forced fumbles.

Norman-Lott (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
Norman-Lott sat out in Week 5 at Jacksonville with a shoulder injury, but it now looks like he's back to 100 percent for Week 6. He projects to start on the defensive line Sunday against a run-heavy Lions squad.

Chiefs' Kristian Fulton: Practices in full Wednesday
Rotowire
Fulton (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
An ankle injury has prevented Fulton from playing in each of the Chiefs' last three games. The 2020 second-rounder appears to be past the injury, given his ability to practice in full Wednesday, and that puts him on track to play against the Lions on Sunday.
