Chiefs Rookie DT Omarr Norman-Lott Out Season Torn ACL

Kansas City Chiefs rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott has suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2025 NFL season, a significant setback for the promising second-round pick. Norman-Lott, who was starting to establish himself in the Chiefs' defensive rotation, exited the Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to the injury and will now focus on recovery for 2026. The 23-year-old had played in five games this season, recording five tackles and one sack, and was expected to be a key contributor alongside All-Pro Chris Jones on the interior defensive line. His absence means the Chiefs will rely more heavily on veterans like Fabien Lovett Sr., Marlon Tuipulotu, and Jerry Tillery to fill the defensive tackle position. Despite this defensive blow, the Chiefs secured a dominant 31-0 win over the Raiders, highlighted by wide receiver Rashee Rice's strong return from suspension. Norman-Lott's injury underscores the challenges the Chiefs face as they aim to maintain their competitive edge this season.
