Kansas City Chiefs

L'Jarius Sneed

CB

Sneed logged an LP-LP-FP practice log during Week 4 prep, which was enough for the veteran defensive back to shed an injury designation ahead of Sunday's AFC West game in what is also a battle between undefeated teams. Sneed has 18 tackles (12 solo), one pass defense, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through the first three games of the regular season.

Chamarri Conner

S

Conner has still yet to make his regular-season debut in 2026 due to a knee injury he suffered before the campaign started, but it now looks like he's on track to do so in Week 4. He projects to start at safety next to free-agent acquisition Alohi Gilman on Sunday at Las Vegas.

Mansoor Delane

CB

Delane picked off a pass in his regular-season NFL debut in Week 1 against the Broncos but injured his shoulder after playing just three defensive snaps. He was cleared for Week 2 versus Indianapolis but was ultimately held out to rest his shoulder. Delane played 98.6 percent of the defensive snaps against Miami and appears to be past the issue.

Nick Bolton

LB

Bolton has now posted double-digit tackles in back-to-back games. He has 100-plus tackles in four of the last five seasons and appears to be well on his way to another triple-digit campaign. Bolton has 28 tackles (16 solo) and a pair of pass breakups through three games to begin the 2026 season.

Josh Simmons

OT

The second-year offensive lineman is set to miss each of the first four games of the regular season due to a bulging disc in his back, which has also prevented him from practicing. The Chiefs are on bye Week 5, so Simmons' next chance to make his 2026 debut is Week 6 against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 18. Kahlih Benson will continue to start at left tackle in Simmons' absence.
