  McDuffie finished the 2024 season with 59 tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, 13 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games. McDuffie has started all 32 regular-season games in which he's appeared over the last two seasons.

• Chiefs' Trent McDuffie: Posts full practice to open week

  01/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  McDuffie (knee) was a full practice participant Tuesday. McDuffie didn't play in Kansas City's Week 18 game against Denver due to a knee issue, though his absence may have been partly precautionary with the Chiefs resting most of their starters. The third-year cornerback's ability to fully practice Tuesday suggests he'll be able to play in Saturday's AFC divisional-round clash against the Texans. As a result, Nazeeh Johnson will likely return to a rotational role.

• Chiefs' Trent McDuffie: Won't play against Denver

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  McDuffie (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos. McDuffie picked up a knee injury during the Chiefs' Week 17 win over the Steelers, which limited him in practice all week. That limited participation may have also had to do with the fact that Kansas City is locked in as the AFC's No. 1 seed heading into the postseason, and McDuffie's next opportunity won't be until the divisional round. Keith Taylor will likely start at outside corner opposite Josh Williams due to McDuffie's absence.

• Chiefs' Trent McDuffie: Unlikely for Week 18

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  McDuffie (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. McDuffie appears to have picked up a knee injury in the Chiefs' Week 17 win over the Steelers, as it was the first game all season in which he didn't play 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, and he was limited in practice throughout the week. However, his expected absence in Week 18 is likely precautionary, as the Chiefs have already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed. Keith Taylor is expected to start opposite Josh Williams as part of Kansas City's top outside cornerback duo if McDuffie is sidelined Sunday.
