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: Takes step forward in 2024
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.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Ruled out for Week 17
Rotowire
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.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Ruled out for Week 16
Rotowire
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.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Active in close win
Rotowire
Conner finished with seven tackles (six solo) in the Chiefs' 19-17 win over the Raiders on Friday.
The slot cornerback and second-year pro also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the fifth game in a row and for the sixth time this season. In a larger role, Conner has already exceeded his numbers from his rookie year in every major statistical category, posting 59 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. He should continue to play his slot-corner role in next week's divisional matchup against the Chargers.

Chiefs' Chamarri Conner: Has scoop-and-score vs. Cincy
Rotowire
Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown.
Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.
