Headed to Indianapolis Nnadi and the Colts agreed on a contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Nnadi will head to Indianapolis after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Chiefs, though he did spend last offseason as a member of the Jets before being traded back to Kansas City prior to the 2025 campaign. The defensive lineman registered 16 total tackles (10 solo) over 15 regular-season contests with the Chiefs this past year, and he'll provide the Colts with another veteran presence on the interior defensive line in 2026.

Re-ignited by return trade Nnadi ended the 2025 season with 16 tackles, including 10 solo tackles, over 15 games.

Impact Nnadi signed a one-year contract with the Jets, but ended up being traded back to the Chiefs before the start of the regular season for a conditional 2027 draft-pick swap. Finding himself back in familiar circumstances, the defensive tackle was able to log five more tackles (seven more solo tackles) than in 2024. The 29-year-old was able to prove he can still be an effective run defender at this stage of his career, and will surely be an attractive target for any team looking for a cost-effective lineman familiar with 4-3 defenses.

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

Impact Nnadi will be forced to miss a second straight game while recovering from an illness. In his absence, Jerry Tillery is a top candidate to step into a starting role on the defensive line versus the Broncos.

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.

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.
