The Kansas City Chiefs made two significant roster moves on Wednesday ahead of their Super Bowl matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs have two more practices left before they take on the 49ers on Sunday.
Charles Omenihu is headed to IR
In the AFC Championship Game, defensive end Charles Omenihu suffered a torn ACL in the Chiefs’ win over the Baltimore Ravens. Omenihu was having a career season with the Chiefs before the injury. He registered a career-high seven sacks in the regular season.
Per multiple reports, Omenihu will have surgery following the Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs add Skyy Moore to the 53-man roster
The Chiefs officially placed Omenihu on injured reserve per the league’s transaction wire. With a spot open on the 53-man roster, the Chiefs activated wide receiver Skyy Moore off injured reserve.
The Chiefs have decisions to make at wide receiver
On Sunday, the Chiefs will have a few important decisions to make on the active list for wide receivers. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who has been out since the Chiefs’ Dec. 17th game against the New England Patriots, has no injury designation this week and is healthy to play against the 49ers.
However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he would see if Toney would be active in the Super Bowl. With Toney and Moore available to play the 49ers, the Chiefs’ coaching staff will have to decide which receivers to make inactive for the Super Bowl.
