Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Posts five stops Sunday
Rotowire
Conner finished with five tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 22-9 Week 3 win against the Giants.
Conner's tackle total was his lowest through three games but was still a respectable mark from an IDP perspective. The cornerback has 24 total stops on the campaign, a pace that puts his well on his way to surpassing the career-high mark of 77 tackles that he established across 15 regular-season contests last year. Conner didn't surpass an 80 percent defensive-snap share in any matchup last season but has played all but two of the Chiefs' defensive snaps so far in 2025.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Leads KC with 10 tackles
Rotowire
Conner finished Friday's 27-21 loss to the Chargers with 10 tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble.
Conner made his impact felt late in the first quarter when he punched the ball out of Tyler Conklin's hands, though the Chiefs couldn't pounce on the opportunity after the ball was illegally knocked out of bounds by Ladd McConkey. Conner led all defenders in tackles Friday and reached double-digit takedowns in a regular-season game for the second time in his three-year NFL career. The 2023 fourth-rounder will need to be at his best in Week 2 when the Chiefs host the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14 in a Super Bowl LIX rematch.

Rotowire
Conner finished the 2024 season with 77 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown across 15 regular-season games.
After starting seven games as a rookie, Conner made nine starts in his second pro season, operating as the Chiefs' top slot cornerback. He recovered a fumble Week 2 against the Bengals and returned it 38 yards for his defensive touchdown. During the postseason, Conner made 20 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced one fumble across three contests. He should get the first crack at covering the slot once again in 2025.

Rotowire
Conner (shoulder) practiced fully Tuesday.
Conner hurt his shoulder Week 18 against Denver, though Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the second-year defensive back practiced the following Friday. Kansas City had a first-round playoff bye, so Conner had extra time to get well. Conner's full practice Tuesday suggests he should be good to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Houston.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Back at practice
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Conner (shoulder) participated in practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The second-year pro from Virginia Tech sustained a shoulder injury in the Chiefs' Week 18 loss to the Broncos, sidelining him for most of the second half.

Rotowire
Conner hurt his shoulder Sunday against Denver and has been ruled out from returning.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Will play against Denver
Rotowire
Conner (concussion) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Conner was sidelined for the Chiefs' last two games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 15 against the Browns. He was a full participant in practice this week, and he has progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Conner has logged 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including two interceptions), one fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games.
Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
Conner suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cleveland and will now be forced to sit out a second straight game. That should open the door for Christian Roland-Wallace to get more work after he tallied a season-high 31 defensive snaps last Saturday versus Houston. Conner will look to recover in time to play in Kansas City's regular-season finale, which will take place Sunday, Jan. 5 in Denver.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Won't practice Monday
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid said Conner (concussion) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Conner was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chiefs' Week 15 win over the Browns. He was inactive for this past Saturday's game against the Texans, and Conner faces an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Steelers. If Conner is ruled out for Christmas Day, Christian Roland-Wallace -- who played a season-high 31 defensive snaps in Week 16 -- would be slated to serve as the Chiefs' slot corner.
Conner (concussion) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
Conner will predictably remain sidelined Saturday after having exited Kansas City's win over Cleveland in Week 15 due to a concussion. The 2023 fourth-round pick will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to retake the field Week 17 against the Steelers.
