Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Activated off PUP list
The Chiefs activated Nnadi (triceps) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
Nnadi was placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp due to a triceps injury he sustained in the Chiefs' wild-card win over the Dolphins. The 2018 third-round pick out of Florida State played in all 17 regular-season games in 2023, finishing with 29 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended. Now that he's healthy, Nnadi will look to get in reps with the first-team defense alongside fellow pass rushers George Karlaftis, Mike Danna and Chris Jones (shoulder).

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Placed on PUP list
The Chiefs placed Nnadi (tricep) on the active/PUP list Wednesday.
Nnadi suffered a left tricep injury during Kansas City's wild-card win over the Dolphins after suiting up for all 17 of the team's regular-season games, and he was sidelined during OTAs. The defensive tackle can be activated from the PUP list at any point throughout training camp, though at this time, it's unclear whether he'll be available for the Chiefs' preseason opener against Jacksonville on Aug. 10.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Re-signs with Kansas City
The Chiefs re-signed Nnadi (triceps) on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Nnadi has spent all six of his seasons with the Chiefs and is now coming back for a seventh. He appeared in all 17 regular-season games last season but suffered a triceps injury seven snaps into the wild-card win over the Dolphins and missed the remainder of the playoffs. Reliable as anyone, Nnadi has missed just one career regular-season contest.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Won't return Sunday
Nnadi (triceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens.
The 27-year-old was unable to practice all week, and he's now in line to miss his second consecutive game with this triceps issue. Nnadi is one of the Chiefs' best run defenders, and without him, Kansas City's defensive line could struggle to stop a Baltimore rushing attack that's averaging almost 154 rushing yards per game across 18 outings. Expect Neil Farrell and Tershawn Wharton to see increased reps at defensive tackle in Nnadi's stead.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Shifts to IR
The Chiefs placed Nnadi (triceps) on injured reserve Friday.
Nnadi had already been ruled out for the AFC Championship Game after sustaining a triceps injury during the Chiefs' wild-card win over the Dolphins. Now that he's been placed on IR, the veteran defensive tackle would also miss the Super Bowl if Kansas City were to advance. Both Neil Farrell and Tershawn Wharton could see increased time on the Chiefs' defensive line for the remainder of the team's playoff run.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Stays sidelined
Nnadi (triceps) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Nnadi has been sidelined since suffering a triceps injury during Kansas City's wild-card win over the Dolphins. His continued inability to practice will likely leave him closer to doubtful for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Ravens. It'll also leave Tershawn Wharton and Neil Farrell looking at an uptick in opportunities on the field if Nnadi is unable to suit up.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Won't face Buffalo
Nnadi (triceps) is out for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Nnadi was injured in the opening quarter of ast weekend's win over the Dolphins, and he's now going to miss the divisional-round tilt. He played over 45 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps this season while starting all 17 regular-season games. Tershawn Wharton is likely the next man up alongside Chris Jones.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: DNP on Wednesday due to elbow
Nnadi (elbow) won't practice Wednesday, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reports.
Nnadi is still feeling the effects of an elbow injury suffered in the first quarter of this past Saturday's 26-7 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round. Neil Farrell could fill in on the interior of the defensive line for Sunday's divisional round game in Buffalo if Nnadi remains unavailable.

Chiefs' Derrick Nnadi: Won't return to wild-card game
Nnadi (elbow) has been ruled out from re-entering Saturday's playoff game against Miami.
Nnadi hurt his left elbow in the first quarter, and the issue is serious enough to keep him from returning to the wild-card matchup. Prior to being ruled out, he had posted one assisted tackle. With Nnadi unable to continue, Mike Pennel is likely to see more work on defense.
