Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. Conner suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cleveland and will now be forced to sit out a second straight game. That should open the door for Christian Roland-Wallace to get more work after he tallied a season-high 31 defensive snaps last Saturday versus Houston. Conner will look to recover in time to play in Kansas City's regular-season finale, which will take place Sunday, Jan. 5 in Denver.

Conner (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. Conner suffered a concussion Week 15 against Cleveland and will now be forced to sit out a second straight game. That should open the door for Christian Roland-Wallace to get more work after he tallied a season-high 31 defensive snaps last Saturday versus Houston. Conner will look to recover in time to play in Kansas City's regular-season finale, which will take place Sunday, Jan. 5 in Denver.
Head coach Andy Reid said Conner (concussion) will not participate in Monday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Conner was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chiefs' Week 15 win over the Browns. He was inactive for this past Saturday's game against the Texans, and Conner faces an uphill battle to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Steelers. If Conner is ruled out for Christmas Day, Christian Roland-Wallace -- who played a season-high 31 defensive snaps in Week 16 -- would be slated to serve as the Chiefs' slot corner.
Conner (concussion) did not practice Thursday and is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans. Conner will predictably remain sidelined Saturday after having exited Kansas City's win over Cleveland in Week 15 due to a concussion. The 2023 fourth-round pick will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to retake the field Week 17 against the Steelers.
Conner (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. The slot cornerback recorded four tackles (three solo) before exiting. Conner has 72 tackles (55 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. Christian Roland-Wallace, Keith Taylor and Nazeeh Johnson are Kansas City's backup cornerbacks.
Conner finished with nine tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Chargers. The slot cornerback also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth game in a row and for the seventh time this season. Conner has 68 tackles (52 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024.
Conner finished with seven tackles (six solo) in the Chiefs' 19-17 win over the Raiders on Friday. The slot cornerback and second-year pro also played on more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps for the fifth game in a row and for the sixth time this season. In a larger role, Conner has already exceeded his numbers from his rookie year in every major statistical category, posting 59 tackles (45 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2024. He should continue to play his slot-corner role in next week's divisional matchup against the Chargers.
Conner recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, and an interception in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills. The slot cornerback also played on 72 percent of the defensive snaps. Conner has 48 tackles (36 solo), four passes defensed, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in 2024, all career highs for the second-year pro.
Conner tallied 10 tackles (five solo), two passes defended and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Falcons. Conner led the Chiefs in tackles Sunday, and his 10 total tackles was a career high in a regular-season game. The 2023 fourth-round safety picked off Kirk Cousins on a pass intended for Kyle Pitts late in the second quarter, which led to a 44-yard field goal by Harrison Butker four plays later. Conner played a season-high 45 defensive snaps and has carved a larger and consistent role for himself in the Chiefs' defense. His 22 total tackles on the year is tied with Nick Bolton for most on Kansas City through the first three games of the regular season.
Conner finished Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals with six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and returned a fumble for a 38-yard touchdown. Conner played just 29 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps Sunday, but the 2023 fourth-round pick made the most of his playing time. He scooped up a Joe Burrow fumble caused by Tershawn Wharton and returned it for a 38-yard touchdown on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a one-point lead. Conner made another high-impact play late in the fourth frame, when he sacked Burrow for nine yards on third down, which led to a Bengals punt and the eventual game-winning 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker as time expired. Conner should see plenty of work in pass coverage against Kirk Cousins and the Falcons in Week 3.
