The Chiefs signed Kohou to the practice squad Tuesday.
Kohou failed to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp but will stay in Kansas City on the team's practice squad. He has fully recovered from a torn ACL that cost him the entire 2025 season. Kohou appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2024, logging 45 tackles (33 solo), eight pass defenses (including two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He would be a candidate to be elevated to the Chiefs' active roster if L'Jarius Sneed (knee) were to miss time.

Kader Kohou: Let go by Kansas City
Rotowire
Kohou was cut by the Chiefs on Sunday.
Kahou missed the entire 2025 season due to a torn ACL but was fully healthy for training camp with the Chiefs. He logged three solo tackles across two preseason games, but he did not make the cut for Kansas City's 53-man roster for the regular season. Kohou has been a starter on defense in 38 of 47 career regular-season games and will have the opportunity to join a team in need of depth in the secondary.
Kohou (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Kohou suffered a knee injury at some point in practice and will not be available for Saturday's showdown. The slot cornerback was medically cleared in March from the partially torn ACL he suffered in July of 2025. Another knee injury for the 27-year-old is not a good sign, and it is unclear how long Kohou will miss due to the issue. Jadon Canady will likely see an increase in snaps at cornerback while Kohou is absent.
The Chiefs signed Kohou on Thursday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Kohou missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign after suffering a partially torn ACL during training camp last summer. He was medically cleared for all football activities earlier this month and should have a relatively normal offseason. The Chiefs badly needed the cornerback help after losing both Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson to the Rams this week.

Dolphins' Kader Kohou: Deemed fully cleared from injury
Rotowire
Kohou's agents deemed him fully cleared medically Monday from the partially torn ACL he suffered late last July, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Kohou missed all of last season due to the injury, which took place during training camp. Prior to getting hurt, Kohou was slated to work as the Dolphins' starting slot cornerback. He's now set to be an unrestricted free agent, so being declared fully healthy should boost his appeal to teams interested in his services.
