Nnadi (elbow) has been ruled out from re-entering Saturday's playoff game against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi hurt his left elbow in the first quarter, and the issue is serious enough to keep him from returning to the wild-card matchup. Prior to being ruled out, he had posted one assisted tackle. With Nnadi unable to continue, Mike Pennel is likely to see more work on defense.

Nnadi is questionable to return to Saturday's wild-card contest against Miami due to an elbow injury.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi hurt his left arm in the first quarter and subsequently worked with an athletic trainer on the sideline, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The defensive tackle notched one tackle prior to his exit. Mike Pennel could see an uptick in defensive snaps if Nnadi is unable to return.

Nnadi has agreed to a contract with the Chiefs on Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi's contract details are not yet known, but he'll remain with the team who selected him in the third round of the 2018 Draft. Nnadi is coming off a 2021 campaign where he played all 17 regular-season games, recording 38 tackles (21 solo) and a career-high three sacks.

Nnadi (hip) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Nnadi (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
The hip injury first cropped up in mid-August, but Nnadi has played in the first two games of the season and recorded two solo tackles in a rotational role. The 25-year-old should be able to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers if he can put in a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Coach Andy Reid said Nnadi was dealing with a hip flexor ailment Thursday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi played in 15 games last year, recording 47 tackles before a knee injury prevented him from hitting the field for the last game of the regular season. Minor hip flexor injuries tend to take one to three weeks to recover from, so Kansas City will likely take things slow with the fourth-year defensive tackle just to make sure he's ready to go for Week 1.

Nnadi (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi suffered a knee injury during the practice week and sat out Friday's session. The third-year defensive tackle is in danger of missing the first game of his NFL career. He has 47 tackles through 15 games this year, one stop shy of tying last year's career high in the category.

Nnadi (ankle) practiced in full Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi was limited by an ankle injury Tuesday, but he's now resumed participating in practice without restrictions. He'll draw his usual start at defensive tackle during Thursday's regular-season debut against the Texans, barring any setbacks.

Nnadi (ankle) was a limited participant in Monday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Nnadi will have two more opportunities to up his level of practice participation ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Texans. In the event that the starting defensive tackle is in any way limited Week 1, Khalen Saunders would stand to handle increased snaps.
