The Kansas City Chiefs will be without 2026 first-round picks Mansoor Delane and Peter Woods when they face the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 9.

2025 second-rounder Omarr Norman-Lott has also been ruled out for the AFC showdown.

Delane is said to be dealing with a shoulder injury, Woods has what is being described as a "neck stinger," and Norman-Lott is working his way back from a stint on injured reserve caused by his knee.

While Delane and Norman-Lott were able to practice in a limited capacity over the past three days, Woods was the only Chiefs player who was held out of all of Kansas City's workouts in Week 9.

Clearly, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will have to get creative in adjusting his game plan in the absence of Delane, Woods, and Norman-Lott as Kansas City prepares to face New York with a chance to earn its sixth win of the 2026 NFL regular season.
