Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu will begin the 2024 season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to a torn ACL suffered during the AFC Championship game. The team hopes Omenihu, who recorded 7.0 sacks and 28 tackles last season, will return by November. Omenihu's absence means the Chiefs will need to adjust their defensive strategy, although they recently acquired linebacker Cam Thomas from the Arizona Cardinals to bolster their front seven. Additionally, linebacker BJ Thompson will also start the season on the non-football illness list after a health scare earlier this year. Omenihu, a former fifth-round pick, has shown significant potential in his career, and his return is eagerly anticipated by the Chiefs.
