Unavailable for Week 17 Nnadi (illness) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against Denver.

Chance to play Christmas Day Nnadi (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Nnadi was limited during Week 17 prep due to an illness that prevented him from playing Sunday against the Titans, which was enough for him to earn the questionable tag for Christmas Day. His return would result in less playing time at defensive tackle for Jerry Tillery, Mike Pennel and Zacch Pickens.

Won't play Sunday Nnadi (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact The veteran defensive tackle from Florida State didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to an illness, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Sunday's contest. Nnadi is now in line to miss his first game of the season in Week 16, meaning Mike Pennel and Jerry Tillery will likely have have larger roles with the Chiefs' first-team defensive line.

DNP with illness Nnadi (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Impact Nnadi appears to have been struck by a sudden illness, causing the defensive tackle to miss Thursday's session. If the 29-year-old can practice tomorrow, he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans. Even if Nnadi needs another day of recovery, the starter will likely be ready to play come game day.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • Associated Press

Going back to KC The Jets traded Nnadi to the Chiefs on Sunday in exchange for a conditional 2027 draft-pick swap, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nnadi spent his first seven NFL campaigns with Kansas City before signing with the Jets in March. However, the Florida State product won't end up playing in a regular-season game for New York; instead, he'll continue his career with the only squad he's suited for as a pro. Nnadi doesn't rack up fantasy-relevant stats as an IDP, but he's been incredibly durable, playing in all 17 regular-season contests each of the past four years. He'll likely work in a rotational role with the Chiefs as he did last season, though his snap count may decrease after the team brought in a pair of defensive tackles in rookie Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) and veteran Jerry Tillery.
