Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (shoulder) is reportedly likely to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The star pass rusher was able to return to practice last week. He was also on the field on Sunday, which is good news heading into Thursday's opener. Jones suffered a shoulder injury in early August and missed all of the preseason as a result. However, the five-time Pro Bowler shouldn't need too much time to get ready. Over the last two seasons, Jones has recorded 26 sacks in 33 games, so his presence on the field is huge for this defense. Fantasy managers should check back for another update on Monday when the injury report is released.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) did not practice on Sunday. The 30-year-old is battling a groin strain. Head coach Andy Reid expects Jones "to be fine." Yet, Reid couldn't say for certain how long he'd be out. Jones has been instrumental to the Chiefs' success over the years, most recently finishing the 2023-24 campaign by totaling 30 tackles and 10.5 sacks. There's a chance he will miss more practices in the coming days. However, IDP managers should get a better idea of Jones' condition in the next day or two.

The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best trios of interior offensive linemen in the league with center Creed Humphrey, All-Pro left guard Joe Thuney and guard Trey Smith. However, Smith is entering the last year of his rookie contract in 2024, and the Chiefs could prioritize retaining Humphrey and linebacker Nick Bolton over Smith, similar to when they re-signed pass-rusher Chris Jones over cornerback L'Jarius Sneed. If Smith continues to succeed in 2024 with consistent production while limiting his penalties, he could be the top free agent at his position next offseason, potentially earning an annual average of more than $20 million. The 25-year-old offensive lineman has started all 50 of the games he's appeared in for KC since they took him in the sixth round (226th overall) in 2021 out of Tennessee.

The Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans are two of the top teams trying to trade for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed this offseason, but Sneed's asking price is too high right now, according to a source. For now, Sneed remains with the Chiefs on the $19.8 million franchise tag for 2024. The 27-year-old former fourth-round pick by KC in 2020 out of Louisiana Tech was the No. 37 defensive back in IDP fantasy scoring last year with 78 tackles (60 solo), five tackles for loss, two interceptions, a career-high 14 passes defended and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Sneed has thrived in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's scheme in his four years in Kansas City and was a big part of the team's Super Bowl run last year. With the Chiefs focused on an extension for pass-rusher Chris Jones, the likeliest outcome will be Sneed moving to another team this offseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed star defensive tackle Chris Jones to a five-year contract on Saturday. His new deal includes $95 million guaranteed. It's the highest-ever annual salary for a defensive tackle. The All-Pro lineman surpasses Aaron Donald annually but still puts him behind Nick Bosa as the highest-paid defensive player. Jones sat out Week 1 of last season during a contract dispute with the Chiefs but eventually settled on a one-year deal ahead of Week 2's contest against the Jaguars. The 29-year-old racked up 30 tackles and 10.5 sacks, including 29 quarterback hits over 16 games in 2023. Jones solidifies the Chief's defensive line and is the heart and soul of Kansas City's defense as they vie for their third straight Super Bowl title.
