Chiefs' Jake Briningstool: Ruled out again
Briningstool (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
With Briningstool ruled out of Week 18 as well as the Chiefs being eliminated from playoff contention, the undrafted rookie out of Clemson will end the 2025 season without being able to make his NFL debut. The tight end will have to focus on recovering in the offseason so that he can compete for a spot on the Chiefs' 2026 roster.

Chiefs' Jake Briningstool: Ruled out for Thursday
Briningstool (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's game against the Broncos.
Briningstool logs his second week of full practice, which will not culminate in a game. The undrafted free agent out of Clemson quickly found a home on the Chiefs roster but has been burdened by a hamstring injury most of the season. With the Chiefs' playoff hopes gone, the team may be overly cautious with young players they have 2026 hopes for, meaning Briningstool may not see action in Week 18 either and will have to wait until 2026 to make his NFL debut.
