Chiefs' Chris Jones: Two tackles vs. Bolts
Chris Jones recorded two assisted tackles during the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-21 loss to the Chargers on Friday.Jones played 51 of 63 defensive snaps Friday, which was far more than backup defensive tackles Jerry Tillery (30) and Derrick Nnadi (26). The Chiefs were without rookie second-rounder Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) on Friday, so Jones' snap count could be more balanced if the former returns for Week 2 against the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Chiefs' Chris Jones: Another All-Pro campaign
Chris Jones (knee) finished the 2024 regular season with 37 tackles (19 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in 15 games.As usual with Jones, the stats didn't tell the whole story: He was named a first-team All-Pro for the third year in a row. The defensive tackle also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in all 15 regular-season games he played in. The six-time All-Pro signed a five-year, $158.75 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs last March, and he will look to maintain his high level of play in 2025.

Chiefs' Chris Jones: Logs another full practice
Chris Jones (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.The First-Team All-Pro defensive lineman from Mississippi State was sidelined for the Kansas City Chiefs' final two regular-season games this season due to a calf injury. However, he's opened Kansas City's week of practice with consecutive full sessions, indicating that he's recovered from the issue. Jones' return is a significant addition to help the Chiefs' defense as they prepare for a hot Texans offense in the divisional round, which has averaged 27.5 points per game over their last two contests.

Chiefs' Chris Jones: Appears set to return Saturday
Chris Jones (calf) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.Jones suffered a strained calf Week 16 against Houston and didn't play in either of Kansas City's final two regular-season games. The Kansas City Chiefs' first-round playoff bye afforded him extra rest, however, and Jones' ability to log a full practice to open this week suggests that he should be ready to return Saturday in the AFC divisional-round matchup versus the Texans. If that indeed happens, Derrick Nnadi will likely see significantly less than the 65 percent snap share he logged in Week 18 against Denver.

Mike Pennel will likely start at defensive tackle alongside Tershawn Wharton due to Jones' absence.
