Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Activated from IR
The Chiefs activated Johnson (shoulder) from injured reserve Wednesday.
Johnson opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury he sustained in a preseason game in August, but his activation from IR puts him on track to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Thursday. The 2022 seventh-rounder could step into a prominent role in the Chiefs' secondary for the final two games of the regular season, given that Trent McDuffie (knee) and Jaylen Watson (groin) were both placed on injured reserve.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Ruled out for Sunday
Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Johnson was ruled out despite logging three consecutive full practices this week. The cornerback has not yet returned from IR, where he has resided since Aug. 27. It is worth considering that Johnson is ready to return, but the Chiefs do not currently feel comfortable allocating roster space to the cornerback. As of now, the 27-year-old will remain on IR and will look towards Week 17 against the Broncos as a potential return game.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Resumes practicing
The Chiefs announced Wednesday that Johnson (shoulder) had his practice window opened to return from IR..
Johnson has missed the entire regular season thus far due to a shoulder injury sustained during Kansas City's second preseason contest. Now, he'll have a 21-day window to resume practicing without counting against the 53-man roster, wherein he can be activated at any time. If Johnson manages to return to action this season, he'll stand to handle a rotational role on defense.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Moves to IR, designated to return
Johnson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.
Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Chiefs' second preseason game against the Seahawks. By being placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, the 27-year-old cornerback will be required to miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign. Johnson will likely return to his rotational role in Kansas City's defensive backfield once he's healthy.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Back with Kansas City
The Chiefs re-signed Johnson on Thursday.
Johnson, a 2022 seventh-round pick, appeared in 16 regular-season games with Kansas City in 2024, logging six starts and totaling 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups. His re-signing primes Johnson to reprise a familiar rotational role on defense, while also remaining a key contributor on special teams.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Sees more action in 2024
Johnson finished the regular season with 56 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass breakups across 16 games and six starts.
The 2022 seventh-round pick, who missed 2023 with a torn ACL and barely played as a rookie, saw extended action when Jaylen Watson was out for 11 games with a fractured fibula and tibia. Even with Watson back, Johnson played on 51 defensive snaps over the Chiefs' first two playoff games. Johnson will be a restricted free agent this offseason, meaning Kansas City can match any offer from another team.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Leads Chiefs in tackles Sunday
Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina.
Johnson played nearly all of Kansas City's defensive snaps in Week 12, and he posted eight-plus tackles for the third straight game. If he plays a similarly significant role in Week 13 versus the Raiders, he'll project as a good IDP play in most formats.

Chiefs' Nazeeh Johnson: Makes eight tackles in loss
Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.
The cornerback also played on all 71 defensive snaps. Johnson played on 91 percent of the defensive snaps in Kansas City's Week 10 win over the Broncos, and he now has 18 tackles (11 solo) over those last two contests. The 2022 seventh-round pick will try to continue solidifying his place as the Chiefs' starting right corner opposite Trent McDuffie in Week 12 against the Panthers.
