INJURIES

Questionable yet healthy Karlaftis (rest) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Impact Karlaftis was a limited participant throughout Week 18, but his injury status is listed as non-injured rest. The defensive end signed a four-year, $93 million contract with the Chiefs in July. The team may just be looking to protect a valuable asset ahead of the 2026 season, as it missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 campaign. If Karlaftis is inactive for Sunday's game, he will end the season with 48 tackles (25 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two passes defensed through 16 games.

Under the weather, iffy for Week 17 Karlaftis (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver.
Impact Karlaftis popped up on Wednesday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to an illness, which puts him in jeopardy of playing Christmas Day. Charles Omenihu, Ashton Gillotte, Mike Pennel and Jerry Tillery would be in line for larger rotational roles on the defensive line if one or both of Karlaftis and Derrick Nnadi (illness) were unable to play.
