Bolton logged 11 tackles (six solo) in Monday's 26-13 win over the Saints. Bolton was the leading tackler for the Chiefs on Monday, with eight of his tackles coming in the second half. Bolton is up to 38 tackles (25 solo) and two passes defended through the first five games of the regular season. Bolton and the Chiefs will have their work cut out of them after the bye when they face the 49ers on Oct. 20.

Bolton had seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens. Bolton was limited by injuries in 2023 to eight regular-season appearances, but he's among the NFL's best linebackers when healthy, as evidenced by his 180-tackle campaign in 2022. He typically isn't much of a factor in coverage, having posted exactly three passes defensed in each of the previous three regular seasons.

Bolton (wrist/abdomen) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Bolton practiced in full all week long, but with the Chiefs locked into the third seed in the AFC, he could see limited playing time or sit in pads on the sideline for the team's regular-season finale. Over his last four games, Bolton has 32 tackles (23 solo).

Bolton (wrist/abdomen) is tagged as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers. Bolton doesn't seem to be dealing with any serious health issues, as he was a full participant in all three practice sessions during Week 18 prep. However, the Chiefs are expected to rest multiple starters Sunday with the team locked into the No. 3 seed in the AFC, and Bolton could be among them. If the linebacker doesn't suit up, Leo Chenal could start in his place.
