Leaves practice early Niemann (hamstring) left practice Saturday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Niemann walked off the practice field under his own power and was evaluated for a tweaked hamstring. The extent of the injury is unknown, but it is likely that the Chiefs won't rush him back during training camp, as he suffered a similar injury at the end of last season. The 26-year-old was forced to miss three weeks with his hamstring injury last year, but it is unclear if his most recent tweak occurred on the same leg.

Practicing Wednesday Niemann was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice report.

Impact After missing Week 17's game against the Chargers, Niemann has had time to recover and is making progress in his hamstring injury. The inside linebacker hopefully should be ready to return for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game against the Browns.

Will sit out Sunday Niemann (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Niemann suffered a hamstring injury during last week's win over the Falcons. It would've been tough to return in Week 17 under normal circumstances, and there's no reason to rush him back with the top spot in the AFC locked up. Darius Harris likely will bump into a starting role in the season finale.

Dealing with hamstring issue Niemann (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact The inside linebacker made quite an impact before his first-half exit, notching a forced fumble and three tackles (including one for loss). Kansas City will have to rotate a defender in from another position if Niemann proves unable to return to the contest, with Anthony Hitchens remaining on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Dorian O'Daniel (ankle) on injured reserve.

Records first career sack Niemann tallied two tackles (both solo), including his first career sack Monday versus the Ravens.

Impact Niemann continues to rotate in among a deep group of linebackers for the Chiefs, playing 43 percent of the snaps in Monday's contest. While it produced his first career sack, Niemann also saw a downturn in defensive snap percentage and just two tackles after racking up nine a week ago. He doesn't see the field enough at the moment to warrant IDP consideration in most formats.
