Chiefs DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah Expected on Season-Ending IR with Hamstring Injury

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah is expected to miss the entire 2025-26 NFL season due to a hamstring injury suffered during a preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Anudike-Uzomah will likely be placed on injured reserve, which would end his season if done before the roster cutdown date. The 2023 first-round pick had been working hard to move up the depth chart but will now be sidelined, marking a significant loss for the Chiefs' defense. Other injured players include linebacker Jack Cochrane, safeties Mike Edwards and Nazeeh Johnson, and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, while wide receiver Hollywood Brown has returned to practice following an ankle injury. Anudike-Uzomah has appeared in 34 games over two seasons, contributing as a depth player with modest sack and tackle totals. The Chiefs will look to close out their preseason with starters expected to see some playing time in the final game against the Chicago Bears.
