Kansas City Chiefs fans were caught off guard when defensive tackle Chris Jones was listed on the injury report ahead of their Week 4 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, but the designation is “non-injury related – personal,” meaning Jones isn’t hurt but may be away from the team for personal reasons. As a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ defensive line, Jones’ presence—or absence—could have a major impact against a Baltimore offense led by Lamar Jackson. Through three games, Jones has already played 163 snaps, tallying five tackles, a sack, and three tackles for loss, highlighting his importance to Kansas City’s front. To help compensate, the Chiefs have elevated Kevin Knowles and Brodric Martin for the matchup, but they’re also dealing with additional defensive concerns, including DE Mike Danna (quad) listed as doubtful and CB Kristian Fulton and DL Ashton Gillotte marked as questionable. While the offense will get a boost with the return of WR Xavier Worthy, the defensive front faces uncertainty that could tip the balance in favor of Baltimore. Chiefs fans will have to wait until closer to kickoff for clarity on Jones’ status, which remains one of the biggest question marks entering this crucial primetime contest.
