Charles Omenihu Injury Update

Charles Omenihu - SIC score 20

By video, suffered right knee bone bruise with possible ACL component while trying to chase down Lamar Jackson in 2nd quarter - will not return and won't play in Super Bowl even if Chiefs advance

Another starter lost on the Chiefs' defense that is already down free safety Bryan Cook.

After the game, Omenihu said he “should be good” for the Super Bowl in two weeks.

The 2019 draft choice had a career-high 7 sacks in 11 games this season. He also had 5 tackles for a loss and 28 combined tackles. 

If Omenihu can't play, Mike Danna will get more share of the snaps at right defensive end. Danna had 6.5 sacks and 7 tackles for a loss in 16 games this season.
