51 Michael Danna DE

The Chiefs activated Danna (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Danna played at least 43 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the first three games before he suffered the hamstring injury. The rookie fifth-rounder is back to full health, and he could handle a similar role moving forward behind starters Frank Clark and Tanoh Kpassagnon.

Danna (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

The rookie fifth-round pick landed on injured reserve Oct. 10, but he's now eligible to resume practicing. Danna has already spent the three-game minimum on the shelf, so he could return for this weekend's matchup with the Jets.

The Chiefs placed Danna (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

The rookie fifth-rounder averaged 31 defensive snaps per game before the injury, so Taco Charlton could see an increased snap count with Danna on the sidelines. Danna will be eligible to return Week 8 against the Jets.

Danna (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Danna sustained the injury during the Week 4 win over the Patriots and will miss at least one game as a result. Alex Okafor and Taco Charlton should handle the bulk of the reserve reps at defensive end for the Chiefs.

Danna (hamstring) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice.

Danna suffered the injury during Monday's win over New England and was unable to return. This news signifies the injury is somewhat serious, and the rookie out of Michigan is in jeopardy of missing Week 5 against Las Vegas. If he's forced to miss any more time, look for Alex Okafor and Taco Charlton to handle the bulk of the depth snaps at defensive line.

Danna (hamstring) was ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 4 contest against the Patriots.

Danna was originally deemed questionable to return, but the injury was deemed serious enough that he has been ruled out. Alex Okafor could take over a depth role along the defensive line in Danna's place.

The Chiefs selected Danna in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 177th overall.

Danna, a graduate transfer who worked his way to Michigan, has the ideal motor for an edge rusher, but he lacks the obvious size and athletic abilities to be a key difference maker. He made just 17 starts for Central Michigan and Michigan combined, so he's raw enough to potentially develop into a rotational option along the front seven for Kansas City.
