Chiefs Get Concerning Update on Star CB
The Kansas City Chiefs star cornerback could be sidelined for the near future.
The Kansas City Chiefs have received troubling news regarding their star cornerback Mansoor Delane. According to Pro Football Talk, the team added Delane to their injury report as a non-participant with a shoulder injury. It remains unclear precisely when Delane sustained the injury, but he had previously dealt with a shoulder issue during training camp and then reaggravated it in Week 1.
This new development is certainly not the news the Chiefs were hoping for, especially as they are currently recovering from their first loss of the season, a 20-3 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Delane, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has made a strong impression as a rookie. Through the first seven weeks of the season, he has recorded 27 tackles, five pass deflections, and one interception.
Delane, who played college football at both Virginia Tech (2022-24) and LSU, was named a unanimous All-American and first-team All-SEC in 2025.
