Chiefs first-round pick has neck injury, will miss practice in Week 9
Chiefs first-round pick Peter Woods is dealing with a neck injury and will miss Kansas City's first practice session in Week 9.
Defensive lineman Peter Woods is expected to miss Kansas City Chiefs' practice on Wednesday due to a neck injury, potentially impacting the team's preparation for their Week 9 game against the New York Jets. The injury has been described as a "neck stinger" by Chiefs Senior Team Reporter Matt McMullen, who shared the news on Twitter on November 4, 2026.
Despite not being the most accomplished player in the defensive lineup, Woods' presence has provided stability for the Chiefs, who have struggled in recent matches against the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. The team remains hopeful for Woods' recovery and will provide further updates on his status in the coming days.
