Chiefs' Chris Jones: Notches first sacks since Week 4
Rotowire
Jones logged six tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Friday's 19-17 win against the Raiders.
Jones had been uncharacteristically quiet on the sack front coming into Friday, going seven games in a row without a sack. However, he got to Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell twice in the second quarter Friday. Bolton now has 5.0 sacks on the season, so he'll need to go on a run over Kansas City's final five regular-season games to reach double-digit sacks for the third straight campaign.

Thomas was traded by the Cardinals to the Chiefs in late August in exchange for a seventh-round pick. He appeared in only four regular-season games -- mostly on special teams -- and did not record a stat.

Rotowire
Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.
