L'Jarius Sneed Injury News & Updates

Sneed (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed will miss a minimum of four games after this move. The earliest he could return would be Nov. 30 against the Jaguars. Marcus Harris will likely start opposite Jalyn Armour-Davis in Sneed's absence.

Interim head coach Mike McCoy told reporters Wednesday that Sneed (quadriceps) will miss time going forward, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The veteran corner from Louisiana Tech sustained a quadriceps injury in the third quarter of the Week 7 loss to the Patriots, and it now appears the issue is serious enough for him to miss time. Sneed has appeared in all seven of Tennessee's games thus far, recording 26 total tackles and three passes defended. While he's likely sidelined, expect Marcus Harris to start opposite Jalyn Armour-Davis in the Titans' secondary.

Sneed (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com reports.

Sneed was taken to the locker room in the third quarter, and medical staff have determined that the cornerback's quadriceps injury is too severe for him to return to Sunday's contest. Darrell Baker will see more snaps at outside corner in Sneed's absence.

Sneed (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed went to the locker room in the third quarter after sustaining a quad injury, and he'll be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return. Darrell Baker will likely take over at outside corner for as long as Sneed is out of the game.

Sneed (quadricep) did not practice Wednesday.

Sneed recorded a season-high 10 tackles in Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but he may have gotten hurt in the game. His participation the rest of the week should provide a better idea if he's in any danger of missing Tennessee's Week 7 matchup against New England.

Sneed finished Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Raiders with 10 tackles (six solo).

Sneed's 10 stops Sunday easily marked a season high -- previously, his highwater mark was four tackles in Week 5 versus Arizona. The veteran cornerback has had a quiet start to the season with 24 tackles through six weeks, though he's also posted three defensed passes.

Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed was a full participant in Friday's practice after logging back-to-back DNPs to open the week. He saw a limited snap count Week 1 due to a lingering knee injury but played 56 defensive snaps against the Rams in Week 2. With Jarvis Brownlee (ankle) inactive, Sneed will step into an even larger role in the secondary along with Roger McCreary, Amani Hooker and Xavier Woods.

Sneed (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Sneed had a cleanup procedure on his left knee during the offseason, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity this past week and will play in Sunday's regular-season opener. The 2020 fourth-rounder signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract with the Titans in March of 2024 after being acquired by the Chiefs but played in just five regular-season games in his first year with Tennessee. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sneed operate on a snap count, which would give Darrell Baker more opportunities to see defensive snaps at outside corner opposite Jarvis Brownlee.

Sneed (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed has been limited in practice this week, and while it sounds like he has a chance to play, coach Brian Callahan said Sneed will not be able to play an every-down role in the Denver altitude, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Sneed missed all but five regular-season games due to injuries last season, his first with Tennessee.

Sneed (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Sneed underwent a cleanup procedure on his left knee during the offseason, and the Titans are closely managing the sixth-year corner's injury. Even if he's limited in practice Thursday and Friday, Sneed is expected to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Broncos.

Head coach Brian Callahan said Thursday that Sneed (quadriceps) is "trending in the right direction" to play in Week 1 against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed started training camp on the active/PUP list due to a lingering quadriceps injury from the 2024 season. He was cleared to return to practice at the tail end of training camp, and his practice participation next week will indicate his chances of playing in Tennessee's regular-season opener. Roger McCreary, Darrell Baker and the recently acquired Jalyn Armour-Davis would be the top candidates to start at outside corner opposite Jarvis Brownlee if Sneed is unable to play in Week 1.

Sneed (quadriceps) passed his physical and returned to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sneed started training camp on the active/PUP list due lingering quadriceps issues from last season. He was cleared to return Wednesday, and he'll likely participate in practices in a limited capacity to manage his quad injury. Sneed was limited to just five regular-season games for the Titans in 2024 and finished with 23 tackles (19 solo).

The Titans placed Sneed (knee) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed dealt with quadriceps issues most of last season and played in just five regular-season contests before his season was cut short in Week 6. He missed the remainder of the year and is now recovering from a clean-up procedure he had on his knee. Sneed's Tennessee career is off to an injury-riddled start.

Sneed (quadriceps) recently said during his football camp that he's healthy and "ready to get back on the field," Buck Reising of 104-5 The Zone reports. "I'm healthy as I've been," Sneed proclaimed.

Sneed missed Tennessee's final 12 games last season due to a quadriceps issue and didn't participate in the Titans' minicamp in mid-June. If the former Chief is indeed back to health, he will look to rebound in the second year of the $76.4 million contract he signed in March 2024. It's still not certain that Sneed will be ready for the beginning of Tennessee's training camp, which kicks off July 22.

It's still not certain that Sneed will be ready for the beginning of Tennessee's training camp, which kicks off July 22.

Coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that Sneed (quadriceps) will not participate at minicamp this week, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed missed the last 12 games of last season with a left leg issue, and it seems he's still not ready for football activities as offseason workouts wrap up. His next opportunity to return to action will come during training camp in July. In the meantime, 2024 fifth-rounder Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary figure as Tennessee's top two options at cornerback.

Sneed (quadriceps) was spotted in the Titans' locker room with a brace on his left leg Thursday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Paul relays that the leg brace has to do with Snead undergoing a bone marrow injection approximately six weeks ago. Snead has been sidelined since Week 6 against the Colts, and the 2020 fourth-round pick will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans. He'll finish his first year in Tennessee with 23 tackles (19 solo) across five regular-season games.

Sneed (quadriceps) is not expected to play again this season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed was traded from the Chiefs to the Titans on Mar. 22, but his first year in Tennessee didn't go as planned, as he appeared in just five games before being placed on injured reserve due to a quadriceps issue. The Louisiana Tech product recorded 23 total tackles across those five appearances. Look for Sneed to return to form in 2025 as one of the NFL's 10 highest-paid cornerbacks.

Tennessee placed Sneed (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

The move is now official after it was reported Friday that this would be Tennessee's course of action. In what is shaping up as a lost season for Sneed, he'll now miss at least the next four games after already missing the Titans' previous five contests. Sneed didn't record a single pass breakup or interception in the five games he appeared in to begin the 2024 campaign. Jarvis Brownlee and Darrell Baker figure to handle cornerback duties for Tennessee in the immediate future.

Tennessee plans to place Sneed (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed has already missed the Titans' past five games, which makes it curious why Tennessee has waited so long to make the decision to send him to injured reserve. This anticipated move will knock Sneed out for at least an additional four contests. His first season with the Titans has been one marred by injury. Sneed will be eligible to play again in Week 16 against the Colts.

Head coach Brian Callahan stated Wednesday that Sneed (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed was considered unlikely to play and was unable to practice Wednesday, so this news isn't necessarily surprising. Darrell Baker should draw another start for the Titans in Sunday's game in Houston.

Sneed (quadriceps) was not spotted during practice Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed's absence isn't shocking since it was reported Monday that he was unlikely to play Sunday against Houston. He'll likely need to get on the field in some capacity Thursday or Friday to change that outlook and give himself a better chance of suiting up Week 12.

Coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Sneed (quadriceps) is unlikely to play in Week 12 at Houston, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports.

Callahan's tone Monday was not entirely pessimistic, as he also said Sneed was getting closer to returning to action from the quad issue he picked up in Week 6 versus the Colts. If he does end up sitting out his sixth consecutive game in Week 12 though, his next chance to suit up would come in Week 13 at Washington.

Sneed (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed will miss his fifth consecutive game and doesn't particularly have a return in clear sight after he's continued to miss practice this week. His next chance to play will be next Sunday versus Houston. Darrell Baker will continue to start opposite rookie Jarvis Brownlee at cornerback for Tennessee.

Sneed (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed has missed the Titans' last four games due to a quadriceps injury, and his DNP to open the week puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Vikings. Darrell Baker has served as the Titans' second starter at corner opposite fifth-round rookie Jarvis Brownlee in Sneed's absence.

Tennessee ruled out Sneed (quadriceps) for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed will miss his fourth straight game with the injury after he was initially injured in Week 6 versus Indianapolis. Darrell Baker, Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary led the way in snaps at cornerback for the Titans last Sunday against New England.

Sneed (quadricep) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his third consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury sustained in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Expect Darrell Baker and Tre Avery (hamstring) to continue seeing increased work with Tennessee's first-team defense until Sneed can return.

Snead (quadricep) didn't participate in Tennessee's practice Wednesday.

Snead is in danger of missing his third straight game as he continues to deal with a quadricep injury suffered. If the 27-year-old ends up being out again versus the Patriots on Sunday, Darrell Baker will continue to serve as one of the team's starting cornerbacks.

Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters Friday that Sneed (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Callahan also explained that the damage to Sneed's quadriceps is worse than it was initially thought to be, which is why it's taking a longer than expected to heal, per Davenport. Expect Darrell Baker to continue seeing increased snaps in the Titans' secondary until Sneed can return to the field.

Sneed (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Sneed wasn't able to practice all week but was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. Look for Jarvis Brownlee to get extra work at cornerback against Buffalo and its new No. 1 wideout Amari Cooper.

Sneed (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Sneed was unable to practice all week after likely sustaining a quadriceps injury in the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts. However, the first-year Titan still has a chance to suit up for Sunday's contest. If Sneed is unable to play through his quadriceps issue in Week 7, expect Jarvis Brownlee to see additional work with Tennessee's first-team defense.

Sneed (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on the Titans' injury report Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed logged 65 defensive snaps during the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Colts, and he finished the contest with eight tackles (seven solo). However, it appears the 2020 fourth-round pick may have picked up a quadriceps injury during the game, which caused him to be sidelined for Wednesday's practice session. He'll have two more chances to practice and avoid an injury tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Sneed, who was traded by the Chiefs to the Titans in March, has accumulated 23 tackles (19 solo) through five regular-season games.

Sneed (hamstring) listed as active for Monday night's game against the Dolphins.

Sneed, who was limited in Saturday's practice, approached the game listed as questionable. With his availability confirmed, Sneed will continue to play a key role in the Titans' secondary Monday. To date, the 2020 fourth-rounder has recorded 12 tackles in three outings.

Sneed (hamstring) was limited in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Miami, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Sneed popped up on the Titans' injury report Friday with a hamstring injury, but he managed to practice in full. He was limited in Saturday's session, however, which puts a cloud over his status for Monday's game. The Titans can ill afford to be without Sneed against the dynamic wide receiver duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, especially after fellow starting corner Chidobe Awuzie (groin) was placed on injured reserve Friday. Darrell Baker, Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary would be slated to see more snaps at corner should Sneed be sidelined Monday.

Sneed and Tennessee agreed to terms Tuesday on a four-year, $76.4 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sneed's massive new contract reportedly includes a $20 million signing bonus and $55 million guaranteed, though the exact terms of his guarantees remain to be disclosed. It's an enormous commitment from Tennessee, but that the team envisions Sneed as a key building block for the foreseeable future is no surprise given that the Titans parted ways with a 2025 third-round selection and 2024 seventh-round pick to acquire him from the Chiefs. Sneed stands to operate as Tennessee's No. 1 cornerback for years to come, with the hope being that his ability to anchor the secondary will make things more manageable for the defense as a whole.

Sneed was traded to the Titans on Friday in exchange for a 2025 third-round and 2024 seventh-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Sneed and Tennessee are expected to work out a new contract once the trade is finalized. The Chiefs placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on him prior to free agency before granting the cornerback permission to seek a trade and speak with teams around the league. That ultimately led to a deal with the Titans, where Sneed will presumably slot into the No. 1 cornerback role heading into the 2024 campaign.

The Chiefs placed the Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag on Sneed on Monday.

The transaction was expected, having been reported by Dianna Russini of The Athletic on Sunday. Sneed has permission to seek a trade and speak with teams around the league, so it's still possible he still ends up playing elsewhere during the 2024 season, if another club is willing to send sufficient draft compensation to Kansas City. Since joining the Chiefs in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Sneed has proven an ability to absolutely thrive in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme. Kansas City also continues to work towards an extension that would allow for retaining star lineman Chris Jones, so freeing up cap space could remain a serious motivation to find a trade partner for Sneed.

The Chiefs will officially place their franchise tag on Sneed on Monday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Sneed is coming off a stellar 2023 campaign in which he recorded a career-high 14 passes defended to go along with 78 tackles. The cornerback's been expected to be franchise tagged by Kansas City for some time, as the team is also working toward an extension with star defensive tackle Chris Jones, per Russini. Such a deal would likely lessen the financial space that the team would be willing to dedicate toward Sneed, so it's also possible the team will attempt to trade him following this franchise tag.

The Chiefs are expected to franchise tag Sneed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per Rapoport, the Chiefs have yet to officially apply their franchise tag on the cornerback, and in the meantime Sneed reportedly has permission to seek a trade. With that in mind, it remains to be seen if the 27-year-old will remain with Kansas City this coming season. In his fourth campaign with the team (2023), the 2020 fourth-rounder recorded 78 tackles and two interceptions in 16 games.

Sneed (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Sneed has been dealing with this lingering calf issue for awhile, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week and is now in line to suit up Sunday. The fourth-year pro has recorded nine stops and two pass deflections across the Chiefs' first two playoff games, and he'll look to add to those totals this weekend.

Sneed (calf) was a limited participant in Kansas City's practice Wednesday.

Sneed was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a lingering calf injury. If the 27-year-old ends up being out versus the Ravens on Sunday, Jaylen Watson should get the start in his place.

Sneed (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Bills.

Sneed was limited in practice this week but is all systems go after playing in last week's win over the Dolphins following the Week 18 calf strain. He should see a lot of Stefon Diggs in this matchup.

Sneed (calf) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

Sneed was sidelined for Kansas City's regular-season finale due to a calf injury, but it now looks like he'll suit up in the wild-card round. His availability should be a big boost to a defense preparing to line up across from Tyreek Hill (ankle) and Jaylen Waddle (ankle).

Sneed (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed will sit out his first game of the season in Week 18 due to a calf injury. He played through the same calf issue in Week 17 though, so it's possible the Chiefs are just giving their top corner extra rest with the AFC West title already locked up.

Sneed (calf) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Sneed was able to play through his calf issue in Week 17, so it's possible any limitations at this point are merely maintenance-related. Either way, he'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Sneed tallied three tackles (two solo) against the Bengals in a 25-17 win Sunday.

Sneed entered Sunday as a game-time decision due to a calf injury but was ultimately able to suit up and play all 71 of the Chiefs' defensive snaps. Though he tallied a modest three stops for the second straight week, the standout cornerback was instrumental in holding Ja'Marr Chase to three catches on seven targets for 41 yards. Kansas City is locked into the No. 3 playoff seed in the AFC, so the team may opt to rest Sneed -- especially if his calf is still a concern -- in the regular-season finale Sunday versus the Chargers.

Sneed (calf) is active for Sunday's contest against Cincinnati.

Sneed entered the weekend deemed questionable due to a strained calf, but he'll ultimately be able to suit up. His ability to play is a major boost to Kansas City's secondary, as he'll likely be tasked with slowing down Ja'Marr Chase, who is also active despite a shoulder injury. Sneed hasn't missed a game since the 2021 campaign.

Sneed (calf) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Although he was unable to practice all week, Sneed's health has apparently improved dramatically over the weekend. It appears his final status will depend on how he feels after testing things out during pregame warmups. Trent McDuffie would presumably be the Chiefs' top option at cornerback should Sneed not be able to go.

Sneed (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Sneed has not sat out a game yet this season, but a calf strain puts his availability for Week 17 in question. If he can't go Sunday, 2022 first-rounder Trent McDuffie would project as Kansas City's top option at cornerback.

Sneed (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Sneed is dealing with a calf strain. If he's able to practice Thursday or Friday, Sneed could still avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Snead logged nine tackles (eight solo) and two pass deflections during Kansas City's 27-17 win versus New England on Sunday.

Snead's nine tackles were not only the most on the team but also matched his season-high total. Through 14 games this season, the 2020 fourth-round pick has racked up 72 tackles (55 solo) to go along with two interceptions.

Sneed logged nine total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Raiders.

The fourth-year cornerback out of Louisiana Tech was all over the field during Sunday's contest, tying his career-high for total tackles in a single game. Sneed has been having another productive season for the Chiefs' defense, tallying 53 total tackles, including three tackles for loss, while also recording eight pass deflections and two interceptions thus far. Expect Kansas City's top corner to continue causing problems for opposing offenses as the season goes on.

Sneed recorded six tackles (five solo) while intercepting a pass and deflecting another in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Chargers.

Sneed was able to register at least five takedowns for the third straight game and fifth time in seven contests this year. He also stepped in front of a Justin Herbert pass in the third quarter for his first interception of the year.

Sneed recorded eight tackles and two pass breakups in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

Sneed has played 100 percent of the snaps in four of the Chiefs' first five games, only missing some time in Week 3. On the year, Sneed has 26 tackles, four pass breakups and one fumble recovery on 310 defensive snaps.

Sneed (knee) is active Sunday against the Jaguars.

Sneed may still be dealing with knee swelling, which plagued him throughout training camp. However, just like Week 1, the Louisiana Tech product will suit up and play despite being limited in practice throughout the week.

Sneed (knee) logged a limited practice session Wednesday.

Sneed dealt with swelling in his knee through much of training camp but played all 70 defensive snaps for the Chiefs in a season-opening loss to Detroit last Thursday. It's not clear if he aggravated the knee issue Week 1, though his ability to participate (albeit in limited fashion) in the first practice of the week suggests that he has a good chance of suiting up in Jacksonville on Sunday.

Sneed recorded six tackles (three solo) in Thursday's 21-20 loss to the Lions.

Sneed was able to log one quarterback pressure and one tackle for loss among his six tackles in Thursday's season opener. He will look to get more active in the secondary when the Chiefs take on the Bears in Week 2

Sneed, who was listed as a full participant om Wednesday's practice estimate, doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Thursday's game versus Detroit, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

As anticipated, it looks like Sneed will be ready to go for Week 1. He'll line up against Amon-Ra St. Brown and Marvin Jones on Thursday, and after logging 107 tackles and three interceptions last season, is on the IDP radar.

Sneed (knee) was a limited participant at practice Monday.

Coach Andy Reid indicated yesterday that Sneed will play Thursday versus Detroit, so the Chiefs are probably just playing it safe with their number one corner. He'll try to make life difficult for Amon-Ra St. Brown in the 2023 NFL opener.

Sneed (knee) is "good to go" Thursday against the Lions, according to head coach Andy Reid, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Sneed has been limited in camp due to swelling in his knee, but it sounds like he should be ready Week 1. However, Reid added that they're still taking it "day-by-day," and that the 26-year-old is headed in the right direction, which seems to imply some question about his status still. A clearer view of Sneed's availability should be made available Monday when the team releases its injury report.

The Chiefs are hopeful Sneed will be ready when Week 1 kicks off, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Sneed has been nursing a knee injury throughout training camp in its entirety. Kansas City has exercised caution the whole time, and it looks like his Week 1 status is still uncertain, although there is optimism. When healthy, he is expected to start at cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie.

Sneed (knee) will not participate in Sunday's preseason opening game in New Orleans, Pete Sweeney and Jared Sapp of arrowheadpride.com reports.

Sneed has been dealing with knee inflammation in camp and has been limited to varying degrees as a result. The Chiefs want the swelling to come down as much as possible before the season starts, so there is no surprise in his absence Sunday.

Sneed is still dealing with knee inflammation, according to head coach Andy Reid, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Sneed has been limited to varying degrees throughout training camp thus far. Reid says the plan is to get the swelling down as much as possible, so there won't be as much concern once the season starts. The 26-year-old is a vital part of the Chiefs' secondary, so getting him fully recovered for Week 1 will be a priority for the training staff moving forward.

Sneed (knee) didn't practice Friday, Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride reports.

Sneed has dealt with a knee injury throughout training camp. He has been practicing on and off, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the cornerback continue to take frequent days off as he ramps up his workload. Sneed will likely sit out Kansas City's preseason opener, Aug. 13 in New Orleans.

Sneed (knee) returned to practice Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Sneed has been dealing with a knee injury during training camp and had previously been limited. The 26-year-old was also dealing with a knee injury leading up to the Super Bowl, but it's unclear if the two are related. He'll continue to work on his recovery as he ramps up his participation in camp.

Sneed (knee) was participating in Chiefs camp on a snap count, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reports.

Sneed is getting healthier on the timeline that head coach Andy Reid predicted, as he is back for camp after not taking part in offseason practices. The 2020 fourth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech started all 17 games for Kansas City last year, coming up with 108 tackles, 11 pass deflections, 3.5 sacks and three interceptions. The Chiefs young cornerback duo of Sneed and Trent McDuffie are both nursing injuries at the moment but should be ready to go by Week 1.

Sneed is dealing with knee swelling according to head coach Andy Reid, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Sneed was dealing with a knee injury heading into the Super Bowl, but it's unclear if the two are related. The 26-year-old had an extremely successful 2022 campaign, logging a career-best 108 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 11 passes defended and three forced fumbles, to go along with a tying a career-best three interceptions. He should be ready for training camp, according to Reid.

Sneed (knee) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII versus the Eagles on Sunday.

Sneed sustained a concussion during the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals, but he was able to clear the protocol for head injuries in a little more than a week and wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report at all. Having said that, he showed up as a limited participant Thursday due to a knee issue, only to get back to all activity one day later. With his status not in question for Sunday, Sneed is good to go as one of the Chiefs' starting outside cornerbacks, which helped him rack up 108 tackles, three interceptions and 3.5 sacks in 17 games during the regular season.

Sneed (knee) doesn't have a designation ahead of Super Bowl LVII versus the Eagles on Sunday.

Sneed sustained a concussion during the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals, but he was able to clear the protocol for head injuries in a little more than a week and wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report at all.

Sneed (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

After clearing the NFL's concussion protocol and practicing fully Monday through Wednesday, Sneed picked up a knee injury Thursday and logged a limited practice. Expect rookie Joshua Williams to step in if Sneed is unable to play in the Super Bowl.

Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Sneed practiced Monday and Tuesday and has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

The cornerback didn't practice in any capacity last week and was given a tentative questionable tag in the Chiefs' final week of prep before Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, but Sneed's removal from the five-step protocol clears the way for him to play in Super Bowl LVII. Sneed and fellow starting cornerback Trent McDuffie will face the unenviable task of attempting to slow down the Eagles' top two receivers, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Sneed (concussion) didn't have a helmet at Friday's practice and watched from the side while his teammates warmed up, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

While he hasn't returned to practice, Sneed's presence on the sideline shows he's made progress through the concussion protocol since exiting the AFC Championship Game with a brain injury. His status will be crucial for Super Bowl matchups, as the Chiefs don't have great CB depth behind Sneed and Trent McDuffie to deal with Philadelphia's pair of 1,000-yard wideouts (A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith).

Sneed (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, per the team's official site.

Sneed has now been listed on the Chiefs' practice estimate as a non-participant in back-to-back days due to the concussion he suffered during last weekend's AFC Championship Game versus the Bengals. However, it's been reported that the third-year cornerback was on the field for stretching and conditioning Thursday, which would ultimately put him in the next stage of the concussion protocol, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. Sneed will have over nine more days to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before Kansas CIty squares off against the Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Sneed (concussion) is listed as a non-participant on the Chiefs' estimated injury report Wednesday.

Sneed suffered a concussion during the first quarter of the Chiefs' AFC Championship win over the Bengals and was replaced by rookie cornerback Joshua Williams, who recorded his second career interception on a pass intended for Tee Higgins in the fourth quarter. The Super Bowl will be played Feb. 12, so Sneed still has over 10 days to clear concussion protocols. It wouldn't be surprising to see the third-year defensive back sidelined for the rest of this week, but if he continues to log DNPs next week, his status for the final game of the season could be in serious jeopardy.

Sneed (concussion) won't return to Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.

Sneed exited Sunday's matchup in the first quarter and went to the locker room shortly after. He was diagnosed with a concussion, so h'ell be unable to return to the matchup. If Kansas City advances, it's unclear whether Sneed will be available for Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12.

Sneed is being evaluated for a concussion after exiting Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals in the first quarter.

Sneed was shaken up on the first possession of Sunday's game and headed to the locker room shortly after leaving the field. If he's unable to return, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson are candidates to see increased playing time.

Sneed compiled three tackles (two solo) in the 31-13 win over the Raiders in Week 18.

Sneed's production waned over the final two weeks of the regular season, tallying just three tackles in each after posting at least five in every game prior, but he still topped 100 total tackles for the season, boasting plenty of fantasy value for managers who picked up. Sneed also matched a career-best mark with three interceptions and posted career-high totals for 3.5 sacks and fumbles forced (three). The fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has one season remaining on his rookie deal before he's bound for a sizable pay bump.

Sneed (hip) will play in Saturday's game against the Raiders.

No surprise here, as coach Andy Reid had previously indicated he expected Sneed to suit up for the contest. Look for the third-year cornerback to take on his usual role opposite Trent McDuffie.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Thursday that he expects Sneed (hip) to suit up for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Raiders, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

Sneed picked up a hip injury during Sunday's win over Denver. The third-year cornerback was then considered day-to-day to open Week 18 prep and sat out the Chiefs' practice Tuesday. However, he did log back-to-back limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, so it appears he'll have a good chance to continue playing every defensive snap versus Las Vegas. Otherwise, Joshua Williams and Jaylen could both be in line for increased roles opposite Trent McDuffie on Saturday.

Sneed (hip) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice report.

Sneed suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Broncos, and despite his ability to return to play, he was considered day-to-day to open the week Monday. His practice status in the days ahead will be worth monitoring, especially with the Chiefs having one less day to prepare, as they play the Raiders on Saturday.

Sneed suffered a hip pointer in Sunday's win over the Broncos and is considered day-to-day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sneed left the contest with the injury, but he was ultimately able to return and finish the game. However, it appears that he's still feeling the effects of the injury, and he may be held out or limited early in the week during practice. Either way, he'll work to be ready to play Saturday against the Raiders.

Sneed (hip) returned to Sunday's 27-24 win against the Broncos, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Sneed had left the game after suffering a hip injury while returning an interception. His ability to return before the game ended was certainly good news for the Chiefs, not only for Week 17 but for Week 18 as well, when the Chiefs face the Raiders.

Sneed has exited Sunday's game against the Broncos with a hip injury.

Sneed suffered the injury while returning an interception, and walked off the field holding his hip. Any kind of long term absence would certainly be a blow to the Chiefs' secondary. In his absence, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson are likely candidates to see an uptick in work.

Sneed logged seven tackles (three solo) and two passes defended, including an interception, in Sunday's 34-28 win against Denver.

Sneed picked off Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien two drives after he stepped in for injured starter Russell Wilson (concussion) in the fourth quarter. The cornerback has now logged two interceptions this season, both of which have come over the last three weeks. Sneed's position belies his overall value on defense, as he has already logged career highs in tackles (89), sacks (3.5) passes defended (10) and forced fumbles (three) through just 13 games this season. The 25-year-old has also played every defensive snap during all but three contests so far in 2022, and he should have a chance to put up another impressive all-around stat line versus Houston's struggling offense Week 15.

Sneed logged six tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 27-24 defeat versus the Bengals.

Sneed continued to post consistent production as the Chiefs struggled to come away with stops against the Bengals' offense. The cornerback has recorded at least five tackles in every game this season, and he now ranks second on the team in tackles (82) behind prolific linebacker Nick Bolton (122). Sneed also leads Kansas City with eight passes defended. He'll look to continue making an impact all over the field against Denver's stagnant offense Week 14.

Sneed registered seven tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Rams.

Sneed was temporarily forced out in the second quarter to undergo evaluation for a potential concussion, though he was ultimately able to return and finish as the Chiefs' second-leading tackler behind middle linebacker Nick Bolton. The third-year cornerback also nabbed his first interception of the season and the sixth of his career, picking off Bryce Perkins for a 26-yard return in the fourth quarter. Through 11 games in 2022, Sneed has now matched his previous career highs for tackles (76) and passes defended (eight) from last season, and he should play a critical role against the Bengals' dangerous passing offense next Sunday.

Sneed (head) returned to Sunday's game against the Rams, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

After taking a hit to the helmet in the second quarter, Sneed was looked at on the field before walking slowly to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room. He was evaluated for a head injury, but after passing concussion tests he was cleared to reenter this Week 12 contest. Sneed will look to build upon the three tackles that he accrued prior to his exit.

Sneed is undergoing evaluation for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Rams.

Sneed took a blow to the head and was tended to on the field before walking under his own power into the medical tent on Kansas City's sideline, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The 25-year-old was then seen heading to the locker room, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, though the severity of his injury is still unclear. With Sneed's return up in the air, expect Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson to step up alongside starting cornerback Trent McDuffie on Sunday.

Sneed (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Sneed was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but was limited by a knee injury Thursday. However, he fully participated in practice Friday and will officially be able to take the field in Week 10.

Sneed (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Chiefs' injury report Thursday.

Sneed played every defensive snap in Kansas City's Week 9 win over Tennessee and was a full participant Wednesday. While it's unclear when this injury first arose, it will leave his availability for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars up in the air. Sneed will have one more practice to increase his activity, or else Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson could see prominent roles alongside starting cornerback Trent McDuffie.

Sneed logged two passes defended and five tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 20-17 overtime victory against the Titans.

Sneed broke up a pass during the fourth quarter and in overtime of Sunday's win, including Tennessee quarterback Malik Willis' final attempt of the game. The cornerback was also able to play every defensive snap after tweaking his ankle during Kansas City's previous contest against San Francisco in Week 7. Sneed has now recorded four passes defended, 58 tackles (43 solo) and a career-high 3.5 sacks through the first eight games of 2022, and he'll look to notch his first interception of the season this coming Sunday against Jacksonville.

Sneed recorded eight tackles (four solo), including one for loss, during Sunday's 24-20 loss the Bills.

Sneed continues to be a reliable IDP option as he's recorded at least seven tackles in each of the first six games of the season. The third-year defensive back has also added three sacks, three forced fumbles and one pass defense while playing nearly every defensive snap.

Sneed (ankle) was a full participant during practice Thursday.

Sneed was not limited on the Chiefs' first injury report of Week 5 after tweaking his ankle during Sunday's win over the Buccaneers. The starting cornerback was still able to play 100 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps last week, and he has recorded 32 tackles, three sacks, one pass defended and two forced fumbles through the first four games of the season.

Coach Andy Reid said after Sunday's win over the Buccaneers that Sneed tweaked his ankle, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Sneed was productive against Tampa Bay, racking up a team-high nine tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble. Reid said that he thinks Sneed will be OK, but the cornerback will likely be monitored ahead of Kansas City's Week 5 matchup against the Raiders on Oct. 10.

Sneed recorded seven tackles (five solo), a sack, a forced fumble and a recovery in the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Sneed's forced fumble was recovered by the Colts, however his fumble recovery came off a sack by Carlos Dunlap in Colts territory. The play helped lead to a 21-yard touchdown drive that gave the Chiefs a 14-10 lead at the half. Sneed's sack was also his second of 2022, already tying his career high of two on the young season. The third-year pro will look to keep producing in Week 4 against the Buccaneers.

Sneed was an active participant in the Chiefs' non-padded practice Saturday, Nick Jacobs of KSHB.com reports.

Sneed was back on the field in full during Kansas City's 7-on-7 sessions last week after he participated in a limited fashion throughout much of the team's offseason program. The 25-year-old compiled 76 tackles, two interceptions and eight passes defended over 15 starts in 2021, and he figures to reprise a prominent defensive role as one of the Chiefs' most experienced cornerbacks this coming season.

Sneed has been limited throughout offseason workouts due to a knee issue, but he appeared to increase his activity level during Thursday's minicamp practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Sneed complied 76 tackles (57 solo), two interceptions, a sack and a forced fumble during the 2021 campaign and is expected to garner another major role for Kansas City's secondary in 2022. The 2020 fourth-round pick's knee issue doesn't appear to be serious, and his limited participation during offseason activities is likely precautionary.

Sneed compiled 76 tackles (57 solo), a sack, two interceptions and a forced fumble during the 2021 season.

Sneed emerged on the scene as a rookie in 2020 to hold down a starting spot for the Chiefs after his selection in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. With that in hand going into his sophomore season, Sneed held down a starting spot all season and upped his production to 5.1 tackles per game compared to 4.6 per contest a season ago. He remains under with the Chiefs for another two seasons.

Sneed (personal) participated in Wednesday's practice session, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Sneed was unavailable for each of the last two games following the recent passing of his brother, but it appears as though he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Steelers. Across his five appearances prior to his absence, the 24-year-old totaled 29 tackles (20 solo), two interceptions and five pass defenses.

Sneed (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Sneed was a non-participant in practice all week, and he'll be sidelined for a second straight game following the recent passing of his brother. His next chance to return will be Dec. 26 against Pittsburgh.

Sneed has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders for non-injury related reasons.

Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the cornerback will be unavailable Sunday while he remains with his family in Minden, La. following the recent passing of his brother. The Chiefs' next game is Thursday night against the Chargers.

Sneed (personal), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, won't be available to play, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

The Chiefs aren't expected to confirm that Sneed will sit out until the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the cornerback won't be in attendance for the contest while he remains with family in Minden, La. following the recent death of his brother. The second-year player has suited up in each of the Chiefs' first 12 games of the season, logging 62 tackles (49 solo), six pass breakups, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one sack.

Sneed had six tackles (five solo), three pass breakups and one interception during Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cowboys.

Sneed picked off Dak Prescott for his second interception of the season, while also recording his fifth straight game with six or more tackles. The Chiefs will now benefit from a bye week to rest up, making Dec. 5's game against the Broncos the next opportunity for Sneed to take the field.

Sneed (knee) will play Sunday against the Cowboys, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Sneed was able to log three limited practices this week, and it was previously reported he was likely to play. His availability is a boost for the Chiefs' secondary against the Dallas passing attack Sunday.

Sneed (knee) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys but is expected to play, Matt Verderame of FanSided.com reports.

Sneed's availability won't be verified until Kansas City releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but the starting cornerback looks like he'll be good to go after turning in three limited practices this week. The 24-year-old has totaled 52 tackles, three pass breakups, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one sack through 10 games.

Sneed (knee) is questionable to face the Cowboys on Sunday.

Sneed logged three straight limited practices this week and it sounds as if he'll be a game-time call for one of the most exciting games on the weekend slate. If he can't go, then Mike Hughes or Deandre Baker would be in line to feature as replacements.

Sneed (ankle) is active for Sunday night's game against the Raiders, Matt reports.

Such was expected after Sneed trended upward in practice all week. He'll man his usual starting spot at corner.

Sneed (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Sneed saw his practice participation increase in three consecutive days to finish the week, so he is trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game. Both Charvarius Ward and Mike Hughes would be candidates to replace him at cornerback opposite Rashad Fenton if he ends up not getting the green light.

Sneed notched four tackles (three solo) and one sack during Kansas City's win over Philadelphia in Week 4.

Sneed handled his usual every-down role on defense Week 4, and he remains locked into a starting role at cornerback. He'll face the difficult task of containing Buffalo's offense Week 5.

Sneed (concussion) cleared the concussion protocols and participated at Tuesday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

The 24-year-old was limited at practice last week but is now clear of the concussion suffered during the AFC Championship Game. Sneed has 11 tackles (seven solo) and two sacks while averaging 49 defensive snaps through two playoffs games.

Sneed notched three interceptions to go along with a pair of sacks and 41 tackles (31 solo) during the 2020 regular season.

Sneed outplayed his fourth-round draft status as a rookie, making an impact early and often despite missing five weeks in the middle of the season due to a collarbone injury and sitting out Week 17 as well. The rookie kicked off his career on the right foot and should be a key piece in Kansas City's secondary again next season.

Sneed (concussion) was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday this week.

Any form of practice participation is a good sign after Sneed suffered a concussion during the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs estimate that he'd be listed as questionable if they had a game this Sunday, but it's possible the rookie gets removed from the injury report entirely before the Super Bowl on Feb. 7. Sneed will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play.

Sneed (concussion) is ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills.

Sneed's injury has been confirmed, and the Chiefs have placed him in the league's five-step concussion protocol. He'll need to attain full medical clearance before retaking the field.

Sneed has exited Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills and is being evaluated for a concussion, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

If Sneed does enter the league's five-step concussion protocol, he won't be eligible to return to Sunday's matchup. If the Chiefs earn a victory over the Bills, Sneed will then have two weeks to get healthy before taking on the Buccaneers on Feb. 7 in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs activated Sneed (collarbone) from injured reserve Saturday.

The rookie fourth-round pick started the first three games of the season before breaking his collarbone, and he was quite good, allowing a 58.8 completion percentage, 91 total yards and no touchdowns. However, Sneed was a starter out of necessity, as the team's secondary was banged up, and it's unclear if he'll immediately regain a consistent defensive role in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

The Chiefs designated Sneed (collarbone) for a return from injured reserve on Wednesday, per the NFL's official media site.

Sneed has resided on IR since Sept. 30 after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 3's win over the Ravens. This is good news for the rookie out of Louisiana Tech, as he could return to the lineup as early as Sundays' game against Carolina. Sneed has racked up 11 tackles (10 solo), three pass break ups and two interceptions through the first three games this year.

The Chiefs placed Sneed (collarbone) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Sneed will need to spend a minimum of three weeks on IR after suffering a broken collarbone during Monday's win over the Ravens, though due to the nature of his injury a longer absence could realistically be in play. The rookie fourth-round pick had already earned an every-down starting role at cornerback, so his absence will be a notable blow for Kansas City's secondary.

Sneed suffered a broken collarbone during Monday's win over the Ravens, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

The Ravens have yet to offer an official timetable for Sneed's return, but he's almost certainly facing with a multi-week recovery, which would make him a likely candidate to land on IR. Rashad Fenton will be a candidate to start at cornerback as long as Sneed remains sidelined, with Thakarius Keyes and Antonio Hamilton handling increased depth roles.

Sneed (collarbone) has been ruled out for the second half of Monday's game against the Ravens.

The exact diagnosis for Sneed is unclear at this time, but the injury is evidently serious enough to hold him out for the rest of the night.

Sneed (collarbone) is questionable to return to Monday's game in Baltimore.

Sneed picked up the injury after landing awkwardly on a dive. Losing the rookie would further deplete an already injury-riddled Chiefs cornerback corps.
