Chiefs Rookie Defensive Tackle Norman-Lott Ruled Out Season With Torn ACL

Kansas City Chiefs rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott suffered a torn ACL during their 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2025 season. Norman-Lott, a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, appeared in five games, recording five tackles and one sack before his injury. This marks the second significant defensive line injury for the Chiefs this season, following defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah's hamstring injury that also ended his season. With Norman-Lott's absence, the Chiefs' defensive tackle depth is thin, leaving veterans Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, and Jerry Tillery as the primary options. The team is expected to explore the trade market ahead of the November 4 trade deadline to bolster their defensive line, considering potential acquisitions such as Calais Campbell or Bradley Chubb. Despite the setback, the Chiefs aim to maintain momentum as they prepare to face the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.
