Chiefs' Peter Woods: Dealing with neck issue
Rotowire
Woods (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
Woods suffered a neck injury in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Chris Jones and Khyiris Tonga will continue to operate as the Chiefs' top options at defensive tackle.
The Chiefs selected Woods in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 29th overall.
Woods (6-foot-3, 298 pounds) was a huge recruit for Clemson and provided quality play as a three-year starter, but it's difficult to find evidence of production and his ostensible utility as a two-gap run stuffer might not translate easily to the NFL given his light build, short arms and poor athletic testing. If Woods makes a positive impact with Kansas City it evidently might not show up in the box score, so he'll need to eat blocks.
