Chiefs Rule Out Two First-Round Picks for Jets Clash
Cornerback Mansoor Delane and defensive tackle Peter Woods will miss Sunday's game due to shoulder and neck injuries, respectively.

Kansas City Chiefs officials confirmed that two of the team's first-round selections from the 2026 NFL Draft will not take the field against the New York Jets on Sunday. Cornerback Mansoor Delane and defensive tackle Peter Woods have been ruled out for the contest.
Delane is dealing with a shoulder injury that has limited his availability throughout the season. The injury first surfaced during organized team activities and kept him in a non-contact jersey during training camp. He reinjured his shoulder in Week 1 after an interception play. This will mark his second consecutive absence and his third game without playing a snap, following a week in Week 2 where he was active but did not participate against the Indianapolis Colts.
Woods suffered a neck injury during the second quarter of last Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 29th overall pick out of Clemson joins Omarr Norman-Lott in missing the upcoming game. Norman-Lott, a second-round pick from the previous draft, was a limited practice participant this week as he returns from injured reserve following a torn ACL sustained in Week 7 of the prior season.
The injury report also lists tight end Travis Kelce and linebacker Nick Bolton, neither of whom has a specific injury designation for Sunday. Wide receiver Nikko Remigio was added to the list on Friday with a hip issue and is listed as questionable. The Chiefs face the Jets at 12 p.m. CT.
