Chiefs Injury Report: Two First-Rounders Miss Sunday

Cornerback Mansoor Delane and defensive tackle Peter Woods will not play in the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the New York Jets on Sunday. Both players were first-round selections in the 2026 NFL Draft and have been ruled out with shoulder and neck injuries, respectively.

Delane's shoulder issue dates back to off-training activities and training camp, where he wore a non-contact jersey. He reinjured the area in Week 1 after an interception and has missed two consecutive games. This marks the third game he has not played a snap, as he was active but did not participate in the Week 2 contest against the Indianapolis Colts.

Woods suffered a neck injury during the second quarter of Kansas City's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday. His absence leaves the Chiefs without another key defensive lineman as well. Omarr Norman-Lott, a second-round pick from last year, will also sit out against the Jets. Norman-Lott is nearing a return from a torn ACL suffered in Week 7 of the previous season and practiced with limited participation this week.

Tight end Travis Kelce and linebacker Nick Bolton do not carry injury designations for Sunday. Wide receiver Nikko Remigio was added to the injury report on Friday with a hip injury and is listed as questionable.

The Chiefs and Jets are scheduled to begin play at 12 p.m. CT Sunday. The game will be broadcast live on KCTV5.
