Back at practice Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Conner (shoulder) participated in practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact The second-year pro from Virginia Tech sustained a shoulder injury in the Chiefs' Week 18 loss to the Broncos, sidelining him for most of the second half. However, Conner's return to practice Friday suggests he's trending toward playing in the playoffs, especially with Kansas City having a bye until the divisional round.

Done for Week 18 Conner hurt his shoulder Sunday against Denver and has been ruled out from returning.

Impact Conner was ruled out early in the third quarter after racking up five stops (three solo) in the first half. With his day now done, the second-year cornerback will finish the 2024 regular season with 77 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with four pass defenses (including two interceptions) and a fumble-recovery touchdown. The Chiefs have wrapped up a first-round playoff bye, so Conner will have an extra week to try to recover from the shoulder injury in time for Kansas City's next game, which will come in the AFC divisional round.

Will play against Denver Conner (concussion) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Conner was sidelined for the Chiefs' last two games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 15 against the Browns. He was a full participant in practice this week, and he has progressed through the league's five-step concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Conner has logged 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including two interceptions), one fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games.

Ruled out for Week 17 Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh.

Impact Conner suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cleveland and will now be forced to sit out a second straight game. That should open the door for Christian Roland-Wallace to get more work after tallying a season-high 31 defensive snaps last Saturday versus Houston. Conner will look to recover in time to play in Kansas City's regular-season finale, which will take place Sunday, Jan. 5 in Denver.

Won't practice Monday Head coach Andy Reid said Conner (concussion) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Conner was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chiefs' Week 15 win over the Browns. He was inactive for this past Saturday's game against the Texans, and Conner faces an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Steelers. If Conner is ruled out for Christmas Day, Christian Roland-Wallace -- who played a season-high 31 defensive snaps in Week 16 -- would be slated to serve as the Chiefs' slot corner.

Ruled out for Week 16 Conner (concussion) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.

Impact Conner will predictably remain sidelined Saturday after exited Kansas City's win over Cleveland in Week 15 due to a concussion. The 2023 fourth-round pick will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to retake the field Week 17 against the Steelers.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Conner (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact The slot cornerback recorded four tackles (three solo) before exiting. Conner has 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. Christian Roland-Wallace, Keith Taylor and Nazeeh Johnson are Kansas City's backup cornerbacks.

Has scoop-and-score vs. Cincy Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown.

Impact Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.
