Conner finished the 2024 season with 77 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown across 15 regular-season games.

EDGE Analysis

After starting seven games as a rookie, Conner made nine starts in his second pro season, operating as the Chiefs' top slot cornerback. He recovered a fumble in Week 2 against the Bengals and returned it 38 yards for his defensive touchdown. During the postseason, Conner made 20 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced one fumble across three contests. He should get the first crack at covering the slot once again in 2025.

Conner (shoulder) practiced fully Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Conner hurt his shoulder Week 18 against Denver, though Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the second-year defensive back practiced the following Friday. Kansas City had a first-round playoff bye, so Conner had extra time to get well. Conner's full practice Tuesday suggests he should be good to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Houston.

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Conner (shoulder) participated in practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year pro from Virginia Tech sustained a shoulder injury in the Chiefs' Week 18 loss to the Broncos, sidelining him for most of the second half. However, Conner's return to practice Friday suggests he's trending toward playing in the playoffs, especially with Kansas City having a bye until the divisional round.

Conner hurt his shoulder Sunday against Denver and has been ruled out from returning.

EDGE Analysis

Conner was ruled out early in the third quarter after racking up five stops (three solo) in the first half. With his day now done, the second-year cornerback will finish the 2024 regular season with 77 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with four pass defenses (including two interceptions) and a fumble-recovery touchdown. The Chiefs have wrapped up a first-round playoff bye, so Conner will have an extra week to try to recover from the shoulder injury in time for Kansas City's next game, which will come in the AFC divisional round.

Conner (concussion) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Conner was sidelined for the Chiefs' last two games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 15 against the Browns. He was a full participant in practice this week, and he has progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Conner has logged 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including two interceptions), one fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games.

Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Conner suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cleveland and will now be forced to sit out a second straight game. That should open the door for Christian Roland-Wallace to get more work after he tallied a season-high 31 defensive snaps last Saturday versus Houston. Conner will look to recover in time to play in Kansas City's regular-season finale, which will take place Sunday, Jan. 5 in Denver.

Head coach Andy Reid said Conner (concussion) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Conner was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chiefs' Week 15 win over the Browns. He was inactive for this past Saturday's game against the Texans, and Conner faces an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Steelers. If Conner is ruled out for Christmas Day, Christian Roland-Wallace -- who played a season-high 31 defensive snaps in Week 16 -- would be slated to serve as the Chiefs' slot corner.

Conner (concussion) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Conner will predictably remain sidelined Saturday after having exited Kansas City's win over Cleveland in Week 15 due to a concussion. The 2023 fourth-round pick will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to retake the field Week 17 against the Steelers.

Conner (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

The slot cornerback recorded four tackles (three solo) before exiting. Conner has 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. Christian Roland-Wallace, Keith Taylor and Nazeeh Johnson are Kansas City's backup cornerbacks.

Conner finished with nine tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

The slot cornerback also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth game in a row and for the seventh time this season. Conner has 68 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.
