  • Chiefs' Drue Tranquill: Gets first sack of season

    Tranquill logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders. Tranquill registered his first sack of the 2024 regular season Sunday as he got to Gardner Minshew for a three-yard loss on the first play of the second quarter. Midway through the fourth quarter, Minshew was stripped of the ball by Mike Pennel, and Tranquill was in the right place at the right time to scoop up the ball, which led to a nine-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Xavier Worthy eight plays later. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Tranquill has totaled 38 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.

  • Chiefs' Drue Tranquill: Logs seven tackles vs. Cincinnati

Tranquill will have his hands full against running back Bijan Robinson and the Falcons in Week 3.

  • Chiefs' Drue Tranquill: Posts another solid campaign

    Tranquill compiled 79 tackles (54 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and forced two fumbles during the 2023 regular season. While the Chiefs still counted on Tranquill to produce when he was on the field, his 552 snaps in 2023 pale in comparison to the 935 he logged a season ago in the final year of his rookie deal with the Chargers, hence the near halving of his 146 tackles from 2022. Tranquill's contract granted him just a season in KC, so he'll head to the offseason looking for a new deal in 2024.

  • Chargers' Drue Tranquill: Seven stops in close loss

    Tranquill recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 30-27 defeat to the Chiefs. Tranquill's production came back down to earth after he logged a season-high 15 tackles against the 49ers last week. However, the linebacker still tied safety Derwin James for a team high in tackles Week 12, as the Chargers' defense once again struggled to keep the Chiefs' offense in check for a full four quarters. Tranquill has now played every defensive snap in four of the Bolts' last five games, recording 33 tackles and three sacks over that span. He will look to continue his career-best campaign against the Cardinals this coming Sunday.

  • Chargers' Drue Tranquill: Active to face Patriots

    Tranquill (chest) is active for Sunday's game against New England. Tranquill was limited in all three practices this week coming out of Los Angeles' Week 7 bye, but he's been deemed healthy enough to make his return to action -- he hasn't played since Week 5 when he recorded 11 tackles against the Browns. His presence certainly provides a boost to Los Angeles' defensive unit.
