21 Jordan Lucas SS

Lucas opted out of the 2020 season.

Aside from four spot starts for the Chiefs in 2018, Lucas has been lightly used during stints in Kansas City and Miami. With the Bears, he was expected to compete for a depth role at safety, but instead he'll stay away from the field entirely this season.

Lucas signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Bears on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 26-year-old was a key special teams contributor for the Chiefs in 2019, suiting up in 268 special-teams snaps. He's not likely to provide much fantasy value, however, as he produced just seven tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup through 14 games last year. Lucas will be a fixture on special teams while providing safety depth for the Bears in 2020.

Lucas notched seven tackles (three solo) and one defended pass across 14 regular-season games in 2019.

Lucas also recorded one tackle in three postseason appearances. The 26-year-old safety is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and his prowess on special teams could help garner interest from other clubs around the league if he does ultimately leave Kansas City.

Lucas (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Lucas was kept off the field last Friday after catching the flu bug, but he's back to full strength ahead of Super Bowl 54. The 26-year-old safety hasn't played a defensive snap since Week 16 of the regular season, so he'll likely stick to special-teams work Sunday against the 49ers.

Lucas will not practice Friday due to an illness, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Lucas appears to have caught the flu bug that's gone around Kansas City's locker room for the last week-plus. The special-teams contributor will have another full week of practice to get healthy in time for the Super Bowl against San Francisco.

Lucas (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Despite surfacing on the injury report late in the week with this sickness, Lucas has made the necessary strides to suit up for this AFC contest. The fourth-year safety will mainly stick to special teams.

Lucas (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Lucas fully practiced Wednesday after coming off a shoulder injury and was off the report and cleared Thursday, however, over the next 24 hours, he fell ill. He'll be out there on special teams if he's able to recover by Sunday.

Lucas (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lucas suffered a shoulder injury during Week 11's win over the Chargers, and he now looks back to full health following Kansas City's bye. He's on track to play his usual role on special teams against the Raiders on Sunday.

Lucas (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's game against Los Angeles.

It's unclear how Lucas picked up the injury, but he was forced to leave the contest late in the second quarter. He'll likely get treatment in over halftime before attempting to return for the second half. As long as Lucas is sidelined, Daniel Sorensen and Armani Watts would be in line for the depth safety snaps.

Lucas (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Lucas sat out Sunday's win over the Jaguars due to a back issue, but he now appears ready to retake the field. Barring any setbacks Lucas projects to play a rotational role Week 2 versus the Raiders.

Lucas (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's season opener against Jacksonville.

Lucas wasn't listed on the injury report until he missed practice Friday with a back issue. When healthy, the 26-year-old figures to back up Tyrann Mathieu this season. If Lucas can't play Sunday, Armani Watts would be next in line at strong safety.

Lucas (hamstring) has rejoined the practice ranks, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Lucas missed some time due to what was deemed a hamstring spasm, but it appears that issue is behind him and he will turn his focus toward preparing for the season. He's likely destined to serve as a special-teams player and depth safety for the Chiefs in 2019.

Lucas (hamstring) isn't participating at Friday's practice, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.

Lucas was forced to exit Sunday's practice session and has yet to return to action due to the hamstring injury. The 26-year-old is competing for a starting role at free safety opposite Tyrann Mathieu, but it's unclear when he's expected to return to the field.

Lucas was forced to leave Sunday's practice early due to a hamstring injury, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

It could have been just a precaution by the team, but the injury was apparently serious enough to restrict Lucas from finishing Sunday's practice. The 25-year-old safety is coming off a decent season in 2018, in which he accumulated 32 tackles, one sack and one interception across 16 games. Fellow free safety Juan Thornhill is also dealing with a calf injury, so the depth chart looks quite thin at the moment.
