The Kansas City Chiefs' dynastic success in the past decade can be attributed to many players, including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce on the offensive side on the ball. But defensively, few players have been as essential as Chris Jones.
The defensive tackle, now 31, has been in a Chiefs uniform since 2016. He's been both a team leader and dominant presence in opposing backfields since then for Kansas City, coming into Week 15 of the 2025 season with four sacks.
However, with the Chiefs needing a win over the Los Angeles Chargers for their desperate playoff chase, Jones left Sunday's matchup with an apparent injury.
Here's the latest on Jones' exit in Week 15.
