Kansas City Chiefs get a gift in final injury report for Week 9 vs. New York Jets, but face a familiar challenge
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their final injury report for Week 9 vs. the New York Jets. Here’s a breakdown of all game-status designations ahead of Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets have released their final injury report ahead of Week 9’s game at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs won’t face the Jets’ top offensive weapon on Sunday, WR Garrett Wilson, who has been ruled out with a concussion. That sets up a much easier matchup for Kansas City, which feels like a gift after a two-game losing skid. However, as Steve Spagnuolo said, the Jets have three players this season who have produced a 100-yard receiving performance. Omar Cooper Jr. and Kenyon Sadiq are still threats to go off.
As for the Chiefs, they face a familiar challenge heading into Week 9’s game. Rookie CB Mansoor Delane is missing his third game of the 2026 NFL season with a lingering shoulder injury. That doesn’t sting as much with Wilson out, but it’s becoming far too common.
Here’s a quick breakdown of each team’s Week 9 injury report, including game status designations. Keep in mind that clubs can add to the injury report through kickoff on Sunday.
Kansas City Chiefs’ Friday injury report for Week 9
| Player | Injury | Wed./Thu./Fri. | Designation |
|---|---|---|---|
| DT Peter Woods | Neck | DNP/DNP/DNP | Out |
| WR Rashee Rice | Hamstring/Knee | LP/FP/FP | — |
| TE Travis Kelce | Ankle | LP/FP/FP | — |
| DT Omarr Norman-Lott | Knee | LP/LP/LP | Out |
| WR Nikko Remigio | Hip | LP/FP/FP | Questionable |
| CB Mansoor Delane | Shoulder | LP/LP/LP | Out |
| LB Nick Bolton | Neck | FP/FP/FP | — |
| LB Drue Tranquill | Pec | FP/FP/FP | — |
| QB Patrick Mahomes | Knee | FP/FP/FP | — |
KEY: DNP = Did not participate | LP = Limited participation | FP = Full participation | NIR = Not injury related
Observations
- It’ll be another week for DT Omarr Norman-Lott. The Chiefs have one more week to decide on whether they’ll activate him to the 53-man roster or keep him on injured reserve.
- Peter Woods will miss at least one week with his stinger. That likely opens the door for Marcus Harris to be elevated from the practice squad.
- Nikko Remigio being questionable despite two full practices could suggest the team wants to be cautious with his hip injury. Look for Jacob De Jesus or Justin Watson to be called up from the practice squad to return punts if Remigio sits.
