Chamarri Conner Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Chiefs vs Cowboys game on Thursday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 24, 2025
Just two tackles in Week 12
Conner recorded two total tackles (both solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing 100 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps in the Week 12 win, Conner tied his lowest tackle output of the season. The third-year pro has been one of Kansas City's best defensive players this season, ranking first on the team in forced fumbles (two) and second in total tackles (78). He's expected to bounce back to his usual standard in the Week 13 matchup against the Cowboys on Thursday.

Leads team in stops in defeat
Conner tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a Week 11 loss to Denver on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Conner began the game in fine form, sacking Bo Nix for a six-yard loss on the first play. Conner went on to lead the Chiefs in tackles while playing every defensive snap for the team. The third-year safety is already one shy of his career-best regular-season mark with 76 tackles through 10 contests, though he doesn't yet have a defensed pass on the campaign.
Nov 4, 2025
Five stops in Week 9
Conner recorded five tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Conner has had an inconsistent season, and that continued in Week 10. However, his modest stat line might be misleading, as he logged 32 snaps inside the box, usage that typically leads to plenty of opportunities for tackles. The Chiefs are entering their bye, but Conner should have a chance to bounce back in Week 11 against Denver.

Chiefs' leading tackler Monday
Conner recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Monday's 28-7 win versus the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Despite a relatively low-tempo attack from the Washington offense in Week 8, Conner was able to log double digits in the tackle column for the third time this season. He's firmly on the IDP radar heading into a Week 9 tilt at Buffalo.
Oct 21, 2025
Just two tackles in Week 7 win
Conner tallied two tackles (one solo) during the Chiefs' 31-0 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Conner played just 26 defensive snaps in Week 7; however, that led all Kansas City defenders as the Chiefs pulled their starters for the fourth quarter, and his two stops were his lowest since Week 9 of the 2024 season against the Buccaneers (one). The 2023 fourth-rounder is up to 53 tackles through seven regular-season games, which is second most on the Chiefs behind linebacker Nick Bolton (55).
Oct 14, 2025
Career-high 14 tackles in win
Conner piled up 14 tackles (10 solo) and one forced fumble in the Chiefs' win over the Lions on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Conner's 14 total tackles and 10 solo marked new career-highs for the third-year defensive back. His forced fumble on Amon-Ra St. Brown in the fourth quarter helped lead to a Lions punt two plays later. On the season, Conner has played over 99 percent of the defensive snaps, logging 51 tackles (29 solo) and a pair of forced fumbles.
Oct 7, 2025
Seven tackles in loss
Conner recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Conner has been a busy man this season and that continued in Week 5, securing at least five tackles for the fifth game in a row to open the year. The cornerback has now produced 37 total tackles (19 solo) and a forced fumble over five games to this point.
Sep 30, 2025
Six tackles in Week 4 win
Conner recorded six tackles (four solo) in Kansas City's win over Baltimore on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
After starting just 16 of 32 regular-season games in which he appeared across his first two seasons, Conner has started all four games for the Chiefs to begin the season and has been in on over 99 percent of the defensive snaps. Conner has recorded 30 tackles (15 solo) and one QB hit.
Sep 23, 2025
Posts five stops Sunday
Conner finished with five tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 22-9 Week 3 win against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Conner's tackle total was his lowest through three games but was still a respectable mark from an IDP perspective. The cornerback has 24 total stops on the campaign, a pace that puts his well on his way to surpassing the career-high mark of 77 tackles that he established across 15 regular-season contests last year. Conner didn't surpass an 80 percent defensive-snap share in any matchup last season but has played all but two of the Chiefs' defensive snaps so far in 2025.

Leads KC with 10 tackles
Conner finished Friday's 27-21 loss to the Chargers with 10 tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble.
ANALYSIS
Conner made his impact felt late in the first quarter, when he punched the ball out of Tyler Conklin's hands, though the Chiefs couldn't pounce on the opportunity after the ball was illegally knocked out of bounds by Ladd McConkey. Conner led all defenders in tackles Friday and reached double-digit takedowns in a regular-season game for the second time in his three-year NFL career. The 2023 fourth-rounder will need be at his best in Week 2, when the Chiefs host the Eagles on Sunday, Sept. 14 in a Super Bowl LIX rematch.

Takes step forward in 2024
Conner finished the 2024 season with 77 tackles (58 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one defensive touchdown across 15 regular-season games.
ANALYSIS
After starting seven games as a rookie, Conner made nine starts in his second pro season, operating as the Chiefs' top slot cornerback. He recovered a fumble in Week 2 against the Bengals and returned it 38 yards for his defensive touchdown. During the postseason, Conner made 20 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced one fumble across three contests. He should get the first crack at covering the slot once again in 2025.

Logs full practice to begin week
Conner (shoulder) practiced fully Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Conner hurt his shoulder Week 18 against Denver, though Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the second-year defensive back practiced the following Friday. Kansas City had a first-round playoff bye, so Conner had extra time to get well. Conner's full practice Tuesday suggests he should be good to go for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against Houston.
Jan 10, 2025
Back at practice
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that Conner (shoulder) participated in practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 5, 2025
Done for Week 18
Conner hurt his shoulder Sunday against Denver and has been ruled out from returning.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jan 3, 2025
Will play against Denver
Conner (concussion) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 24, 2024
Ruled out for Week 17
Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
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 he tallied 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.
Dec 23, 2024
Won't practice Monday
Head coach Andy Reid said Conner (concussion) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 19, 2024
Ruled out for Week 16
Conner (concussion) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Conner will predictably remain sidelined Saturday after having 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.
Dec 15, 2024
Ruled out Sunday
Conner (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 10, 2024
Leads team in tackles Sunday
Conner finished with nine tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The slot cornerback also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth game in a row and for the seventh time this season. Conner has 68 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Dec 1, 2024
Active in close win
Conner finished with seven tackles (six solo) in the Chiefs' 19-17 win over the Raiders on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The slot cornerback and second-year pro also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the fifth game in a row and for the sixth time this season. In a larger role, Conner has already exceeded his numbers from his rookie year in every major statistical category, posting 59 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. He should continue to play his slot-corner role in next week's divisional matchup against the Chargers.
Nov 18, 2024
Intercepts pass in defeat
Conner recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, and an interception in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
The slot cornerback also played on 72 percent of the defensive snaps. Conner has 48 tackles (36 solo), four passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in 2024, all career highs for the second-year pro.
Sep 24, 2024
Picks off Cousins in Week 3
Conner tallied 10 tackles (five solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Conner led the Chiefs in tackles Sunday, and his 10 total tackles was a career high in a regular-season game. The 2023 fourth-round safety picked off Kirk Cousins on a pass intended for Kyle Pitts late in the second quarter, which led to a 44-yard field goal by Harrison Butker four plays later. Conner played a season-high 45 defensive snaps and has carved a larger and consistent role for himself in the Chiefs' defense. His 22 total tackles on the year is tied with Nick Bolton for most on Kansas City through the first three games of the regular season.
Sep 17, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Adds DB depth for KC
The Chiefs selected Conner in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 119th overall.
ANALYSIS
Conner stuffed the stat sheet at Virginia Tech and offers some cornerback-safety versatility at 6-feet, 202 pounds, but his 4.51-second 40 implies a safer fit at safety, especially since Conner lacks standout reach as a corner (31 and 3/8-inch arms). For cornerback reps he might be better suited to zone concepts than man coverage, though that probably sounds just fine to Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who looks to mix up coverages consistently.
