Impact Niang played only 12 offensive snaps against the Packers in Week 9 before exiting with an injury to his ribs. The injury will keep him sidelined for Week 10 as well, and with Mike Remmers (knee) also ruled out, Andrew Wylie is likely to draw the start at right tackle.

Questionable to return Niang (ribs) is questionable to return Sunday against the Packers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear when Niang suffered the injury, but ribs issues are often complicated and it's not surprising that the medical staff wants to make sure Niang is well before he potentially returns to the game.

Chiefs tackle Lucas Niang working hard to be part of team’s O-line solution Niang, the Chiefs’ 3rd-round pick in 2020, opted out of last season. But since mid-September, he has been training for the upcoming season.

Slated to rejoin team in 2021 Niang is expected to rejoin the Chiefs for the 2021 season, Brandon Zenner of News-Press Now reports.

Impact Niang opted out of his rookie campaign amid the COVID-19 pandemic and had his senior season at TCU in 2019 cut short due to a hip injury that required surgery, so it's been a long time since the 2020 third-round pick has seen competitive action. The Chiefs are planning to emphasize improving the offensive line this offseason, but Niang could slot in as the top backup at tackle.
