Chenal (illness) is not among Kansas City's inactives for Saturday's tilt against the Texans. A late-week illness resulted in Chenal being given a questionable tag Friday, but the third-year pro will ultimately be able to suit up. Chenal logged a season-low 17 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps against Cleveland last Sunday, though he impressed with four tackles and a forced fumble in that limited amount of action. He's been impactful both on defense and special teams this season, but Chenal hasn't logged more than 45 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps since Week 7 versus San Francisco.

Chenal (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Texans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Chenal was added to the injury report Friday with a recently occurring illness. The third-year linebacker has yet to miss a game this season, and the final decision on his status could be announced approximately 90 minutes prior to Saturday's kickoff.

Chenal finished Sunday's 27-20 win over Las Vegas with four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks. It wasn't until late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game that Chenal logged his first sack of the 2024 regular season. He was credited with the sack after getting to Gardner Minshew while the quarterback was running out of bounds for a minimal loss. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Chenal has tallied 27 tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

Chenal had seven tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and two passes defensed in Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens. Chenal posted a well-rounded performance in the regular-season opener. He got attention from trainers after some friendly fire from a teammate on a tackle attempt, but Chenal was able to stay in the game. The linebacker has extra time to recover from any lingering effects before the Chiefs host the Bengals in Week 2.

Chenal recorded seven tackles (four solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins. Chenal registered in the sack column for the second straight game in Week 9. He's seen more playing time over the last couple weeks with Nick Bolton dealing with a wrist injury, and he's made good on the opportunity up to this point. After a Week 10 bye, Kansas City will host a run-heavy Philadelphia offense.
