Fulton recorded five tackles, a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Friday's 29-27 preseason loss to the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton dealt with a knee injury early in camp but returned to practice Aug. 7. He suited up in his first preseason game Friday and played 46 defensive snaps. It's unclear whether his significant playing time was to knock off rust ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Chargers, or if it signifies Fulton losing ground on the cornerback depth chart.

Fulton (knee) was reinstated from the active/PUP list Thursday and was a limited participant in practice, Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton started training camp on the PUP list due to a knee injury, but he was able to pass his physical and cleared to practice Thursday, though he was limited to individual drills. The sixth-year corner out of LSU is a longshot to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals, but he could ramp up his activity enough to be available for the Chiefs' second exhibition game against the Seahawks on Aug. 15. Fulton signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Chiefs in March and is slated to start at outside corner opposite Trent McDuffie.

Fulton (knee) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton opened training camp on the active/PUP list with what was reported at the time as an undisclosed injury. He'll be eligible to return to practice and play in the preseason at any point once he's fully recovered from his knee injury. Fulton is expected to compete for a starting role at corner, but in his absence, Nohl Williams, Chamarri Conner and Jaylen Watson will continue to get more reps with the first-team defense.

Fulton (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Chiefs on Sunday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton will open training camp on the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury, but he's eligible to return to practice and play at any point in the preseason. Then 26-year-old signed with Kansas City in the offseason after posting a career-high 51 total tackles (39 solo), while also adding seven passes defensed, including an interception, over 15 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2024. Once healthy, Fulton is expected to compete for a starting cornerback role with the Chiefs in 2025.

Fulton agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Networkreports.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton rejuvenated his career in his lone year with the Chargers last season, turning into arguably one of Los Angeles' best secondary pieces. The 26-year-old parlayed the strong season into a significant deal with the Chiefs that includes $15 million guaranteed and a maximum value of $20.5 million, per Rapoport. Fulton has played as a boundary corner for virtually his entire career, but with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson already firmly set in their spots, it's possible the new addition could be utilized all around Kansas City's secondary.

Fulton finished the 2024 regular season with 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton was Tennessee's second-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Titans, but he opted to sign a one-year, $3.13 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024. Fulton started in every game he played, but he could be on his way out of Los Angeles if the Chargers opt to go with rookies Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart (shoulder) as the starting outside corners for the 2025 campaign.

Fulton (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Raiders due to an illness and did not return. His ability to practice in full Tuesday indicates he's no longer feeling under the weather and should play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans. Fulton finished his first regular season with the Chargers with a career-high 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.

Fulton (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Fulton appears to be under the weather and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to Sunday's game. Tarheeb Still will likely step in at outside corner opposite Cam Hart for as long as Fulton is sidelined.

Fulton (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old missed each of the Chargers' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but Friday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue in time to face his former LSU teammate and superstar wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, on Sunday. Expect Fulton to start opposite Cam Hart in the Chargers' secondary in Week 11.

Fulton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite his limited participation, Fulton told reporters after Wednesday's practice that he feels 100 percent and plans to play against the Bengals on Sunday, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. Fulton has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Chargers' last two regular-season games, but his return for Week 11 would be timely as he would face off against Bengals' superstar wideout and former LSU teammate Ja'Marr Chase.
