The Kansas City Chiefs’ defense needs every man it can get for Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII rematch against the San Francisco 49ers. Defensive lineman Derrick Nnadi was listed with a triceps injury on the defending champions’ final injury report on Friday, but is expected to be available for the high-stakes Week 7 tilt.

How long will Derrick Nnadi be out?
It is unknown if Nnadi needs more time to recover, given that he was not limited by his injury in practice. He has been listed on the injury report every week this season due to the issue with his triceps, but he has not been listed for any matchups so far.
