Notable free-
[Chiefs] We have placed DT Omarr Norman-Lott on Reserve/Injured. We have signed Practice Squad player CB Kevin Knowles to an active roster contract.
[Rapport] Chiefs DT Omarr Norman-Lott, their second rounder this year, suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, sources say. The promising young lineman turns his attention to a full recovery for 2026.
[Rapoport] Chiefs DT Omarr Norman-Lott, their second rounder this year, suffered a torn ACL and is out for the season, sources say. The promising young lineman turns his attention to a full recovery for 2026.
[Derrick] Still waiting on Chiefs full inactive list but WR Xavier Worthy, DT Omarr Norman-Lott and G/C Hunter Nourzad are active. Out: LT Josh Simmons and CB Kristian Fulton. Jaylon Moore will start at left tackle.
After watching yesterday's game and film of his season so far, I think Jalen Hurts might have received a concussion in Week 1. — I believe Jalen Hurts took two shots to the head in the Dallas game that have affected him a great deal since then.
During the Dallas game, Hurts was 19/23 for 150-some yards, which amounts to an 82% completion rate and a pedestrian-but-not-awful 6.6 YPA. In the games since then, his completion rate has dropped to 65.8%. His QBR was 89.2 in the Dallas game but has not been above 63 since then, and was 31.1 yesterday against the Giants.
The two hits in question occurred at 9:16 in the 3rd qua
[McMullen] Full Wednesday injury report: Everybody- including Fulton and ONL- was a full participant
[McMullen] Here are the Chiefs’ inactives for tonight’s game against Jacksonville: CB Kristian Fulton, TE Jared Wiley, RB Elijah Mitchell, DT Omarr Norman-Lott, OL Hunter Nourzad, and DE Malik Herring
[Goldman] The Chiefs have elevated DT Marlon Tuipulotu from the practice squad for tonight's game against the Jaguars. Remember, Omarr Norman-Lott was added to the injury report with a questionable designation after missing Saturday's practice with a shoulder injury.
Chiefs Rookie Omarr Norman-Lott Is A Beast In The Middle | Film Review — >The Kansas City Chiefs haven't been playing Omar Norman-Lott a lot, but he's made plays when given the opportunity. This Chiefs rookie should continue to have a bigger and bigger impact going forward.
Where’s the Chiefs’ pass-rush juice? Rookie Ashton Gillotte aims to be part of solution vs. Giants — [Non-paywall link](https://archive.is/0QoDB)
Key sections:
>Through two games, the Kansas City Chiefs’ pass rush has been inconsistent at best. And while the lack of pressure is a concern, it’s just one of several issues that have led to two straight losses to start the season.
>Recognizing the pass rush could be improved this past offseason, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spent two of his three Day 2 draft picks on defensive linemen with pass-rush upside. Veach selected defensive tackle
[Highlight] Omarr Norman-Lott lays big hit on Jalen Hurts
[McMullen] Here’s the final injury report for the Chiefs and Eagles
[Chiefs] Omarr Norman-Lott listed as questionable. Jalen Royals is out. Everyone else good to go for Friday.

We’re at the eve of the 2025 NFL season and once again, it’s time to put my predictions out there in the ether – all the awards, playoff teams and who I have facing each other in Super Bowl LX.
Unlike I’ve done in previous years, where I chose my top three candidates for each category, I decided to present my choice to win and my favorite dark horse. Along with that, I’ll lay

[Sweeney] Here is your initial 53-man roster — [Source](https://x.com/pgsween/status/1960497134542692621)
[Goldman] Chiefs HC Andy Reid says Jack Cochrane (knee), Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle), and Jalen Royals (knee) won't practice today. Cochrane and ONL are closer than Royals to returning.
53-Man Roster Predictions — Note: this list only contains players who are currently on the roster. The final 53 will probably include a couple of waiver wire pickups but there's no way for me to know who those will be.
I'm also including the reserve lists since at least two of those players can be eligible for the 53.
Edit: It looks like there were some last second reports about the roster as soon as I was about to post this, so I made sure to add those in.
QB's: Patrick Mahomes, Gardner Minshew
RB's: Isiah Pacheco, Ka
[Sweeney] Here are the #Chiefs who will not play against the #Bears in the final preseason game: TE Jake Briningstool (hamstring), LB Jack Cochrane (knee), OL Ethan Driskell (appendix), S Mike Edwards (hamstring), CB Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), DT Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) and WR Jaylen Royals (knee)

Top Thing I’m looking for right now Preseason — • Offensive Play calling
I want to see Reid & Nagy be aggressive and Mahomes pushing ball downfield like we’ve seen at camp to establish an aggressive mindset after being the worst explosive play rate offense over last 2 years, I do not want to see bubble screens, quick RPO’s or mesh crosses, I want to see vertical routes 15+ yards (in-out breakers, comebacks, posts corners, seam routes). Preseason is the time to establish the attack downfield mindset, gain confidence and chemistry in doing so.
[Rapsheet] The #Chiefs have agreed to terms with second-round pick DT Omarr Norman-Lott, sources say, their 63rd overall selection. Deal was done by @IanGrutman of @GSEworldwide.
