His full participation on Tuesday's practice report indicates that he will be available for the Chiefs' regular-season opener against the Chargers on Friday, barring any setbacks.

Hurts knee in exhibition contest
Cochrane suffered a knee injury and has been ruled out of Friday's preseason clash against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Cochrane was ruled out just before halftime, though it's not immediately clear when the injury occurred. Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com suggests the "hope" is that Cochrane's removal was precautionary, though the linebacker's status may remain hazy until the team provides more information. Prior to exiting, Cochrane racked up a team-high eight first-half tackles Friday.

Signs tender with Kansas City
Cochrane signed his right-of-first-refusal tender with the Chiefs on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Cochrane will officially play out the 2025 season on a one-year, $3.263 million contract. He suited up for 15 regular-season games with the team in 2024, playing just nine snaps on defense compared to 296 snaps on special teams. Cochrane figures to reprise a similar role in the coming season, which means he'll remain off the IDP radar for fantasy purposes.

Tendered at lowest level
The Chiefs extended a right of first refusal tender to restricted free agent Cochrane on Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If Cochrane signs the tender, he'll earn a $3.263 million salary in 2025. The former undrafted free agent out of South Dakota appeared in 15 regular-season games for Kansas City last season, logging five tackles (three solo) as a key cog on the Chiefs' special-teams units. He played just nine snaps on defense.

Placed on injured reserve
The Chiefs placed Cochrane (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Cochrane broke his ankle during a kickoff in the first quarter of Saturday's 27-19 win over the Texans. He won't be available to play in the Chiefs' final two games of the regular season, though he could be activated off IR during the postseason if the Chiefs make a deep playoff run. Cochrane played mostly on special teams and logged five tackles (three solo) across 15 regular-season games.

Suffers broken ankle Saturday
Cochrane suffered a broken ankle in Saturday's win over the Texans, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cochrane was injured on a kickoff in the first quarter versus Houston, and he's now likely to miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old linebacker was a fixture on special teams for Kansas City, having logged 293 snaps for that unit prior to Saturday's contest. He played just nine defensive snaps this season. Cochrane's regular season appears to be over, finishing with five tackles (three solo).

Hurts ankle, won't return Saturday
Cochrane (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 matchup against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Cochrane was hurt during a Chiefs kick return in the first quarter, and he won't return to the contest. The linebacker has worked almost exclusively on special teams this year, as he entered Saturday with 292 snaps as part of that unit as opposed to just nine on defense.
Dec 5, 2023
Relied on after injury
Cochrane recorded seven solo tackles in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
After losing linebacker Drue Tranquill (concussion) on the seventh play of the game, the Chiefs relied heavily on Cochrane who recorded a season high in defensive snaps (56) and tackles. The 24-year-old should see another uptick in playing time if Tranquill fails to clear concussion protocol for Week 14.
