Rotowire
Anudike-Uzomah is participating at the Chiefs' training camp, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026.

Anudike-Uzomah suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's preseason loss to the Seahawks, Harold R. Kuntz of Fox4 News Kansas City reports.

Chiefs' Felix Anudike-Uzomah: Tallies 2.5 sacks in 2024
Rotowire
Anudike-Uzomah logged 27 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024. He added five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sack, in three postseason games.
Anudike-Uzomah didn't see a significant jump in production from his 2023 rookie season. The first-round pick served as the Chiefs' fourth defensive end behind George Karlaftis, Mike Danna and Charles Omenihu, all three of whom played the majority of snaps when healthy. With Omenihu currently slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it's possible that Anudike-Uzomah could step into a bigger role in 2025.
