Kansas City faces Jacksonville on Monday Night Football with Mike Danna’s status in flux. Danna’s quad injury from Week 2 has him on the injury report, but his full practice participation suggests a real chance to play Week 5, keeping KC’s defense intact against the Jaguars.

If Danna is limited or inactive, Ashton Gillotte, Charles Omenihu, and Malik Herring would soak up extra reps, preserving KC’s defensive line depth and shaping sack and tackle opportunities for fantasy managers relying on IDP production.

Kansas City heads to Jacksonville for Monday Night Football. Charles Omenihu is dealing with an ankle issue but logged full participation in Week 5 practices, keeping his status as a game-time call favorable.

If Omenihu cannot play, Ashton Gillotte, Mike Danna and Malik Herring would be asked to absorb extra snaps, reshaping KC's pass rush and run defense while providing a clearer path to DL depth for fantasy managers to monitor.

Week 2 inactive lists for the Chiefs and Eagles were released ahead of the Arrowhead showdown. Chiefs inactive: Jalen Royals, Xavier Worthy, Jared Wiley, Elijah Mitchell, Hunter Nourzad, Malik Herring. Eagles inactive: Dallas Goedert, Azeez Ojulari, Tanner McKee, Will Shipley, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Drew Kendall.

Inactives are determined for injury status, coaching decisions, or other reasons and must be disclosed about 90 minutes before kickoff. With these absences, fantasy managers should anticipate deeper roles for reserve players and possible line and rotation changes on both sides.

The Kansas City Chiefs are continuing their legacy of developing talent both on the field and in coaching. Following the recent news of the Nebraska Cornhuskers hiring former Chiefs assistant defensive line coach Terry Bradden, Malik Herring, a defensive lineman for Kansas City, expressed his appreciation for the coaching style that Bradden instilled during their time together. Herring emphasized the contagious energy that Bradden brought to practices, which he hopes will translate into success at the collegiate level.

Bradden's departure marks the end of an eight-year tenure with the Chiefs, during which he contributed significantly to the team's defensive strategies under Joe Cullen. Herring, who joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2021, highlighted how Bradden's methods have influenced his growth and expressed optimism about Nebraska's prospects under their new coach.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded for Joshua Uche to enhance their pass rush, expecting him to complement stars like Chris Jones and George Karlaftis. However, Uche's role has diminished, logging minimal snaps and being a healthy scratch in recent games.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo acknowledged the situation, indicating they want to find ways to utilize Uche, but snap counts are prioritized for other players. Despite Uche's potential as a pass-rush specialist, he has not seen significant action since joining the team.
