Tranquill recorded three total tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill was limited to a season-low three takedowns in Week 5, failing to make much of a mark on the contest. The linebacker has now registered 27 total tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed and a fumble recovery over five games this year. Tranquill will look to get back on track in Week 7 versus the Lions.

Tranquill recorded five tackles (one solo) against the Giants in a 22-9 victory Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill's tackle total tied for fourth-most on KC. The veteran linebacker has been very consistent through three games, recording five stops in two contests and six in the other. Tranquill notched 2.0 sacks in Week 1 against his former team, the Chargers, but hasn't picked up a sack since.

Tranquill (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill opened the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a knee injury he likely picked up during the Chiefs' Week 1 loss to the Chargers. His ability to practice without limitations Thursday indicates that he is on track to play against the Eagles on Sunday in a Super Bowl LIX rematch.

Tranquill (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill enjoyed a big Week 1 against the Chargers, logging 2.0 sacks while playing 82 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps. However, he's now dealing with a knee injury. Tranquill's practice status the remainder of the week should provide more clarity about whether he's in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against Philadelphia.

Tranquill registered five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, in a loss to the Chargers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill started off the season in fine form, taking down Justin Herbert twice in the second half. He also briefly left the game after getting shaken up in the third quarter but was able to return without missing much time. Tranquill's 2.0 sacks Friday matched the amount he recorded over all 16 of the regular-season contests he participated in last year.

Tranquill (back) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill was hampered early on in training camp but is all systems go for Friday's Week 1 opener against the Chargers. The veteran linebacker recorded 94 tackles (54 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakups across 16 regular-season appearances, all starts, in 2024.

Tranquill did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to a back injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill appeared to strain his back during team drills Friday. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the Chiefs could play it conservatively by keeping Tranquill out of practices this week and have him sidelined for the team's preseason opener against the Cardinals on Aug. 9. His absence would open the door for Jack Cochrane and Brandon George to get more reps at linebacker with the first-team defense alongside Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal.

Tranquill registered 94 tackles (54 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. He added 25 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across the Chiefs' three playoff games.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill finished the regular season as the Chiefs' second-leading tackler behind Nick Bolton (106), but the former led Kansas City in that category during its playoff run. Tranquill played at least 40 defensive snaps in all but two games he played in 2024 and played a key role in the Chiefs' linebacker corps alongside Bolton and Leo Chenal.

Tranquill is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Tranquill probably won't see the field Sunday due to the Chiefs being locked in as the AFC's No. 1 seed for the postseason. Nick Bolton is also active, but Blake Lynch, Cam Jones and Leo Chenal will likely see most of the snaps at linebacker in Week 18.
