News

  • Back with Super Bowl champs

    Danna has agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Danna -- whose deal is reportedly worth $24 million and includes $13 million guaranteed, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network -- established career highs last year by recording 6.5 sacks and 50 tackles in 16 regular-season games for Kansas City. With an extension now in place, the 26-year-old is set to continue in his starting defensive end role with the team that took him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Danna (rest) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs are opting to rest Danna in favor of prioritizing his health for the playoffs. In his absence, the likes of Charles Omenihu, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, BJ Thompson and Malik Herring are all candidates to see extra snaps on the defensive line.

  • Could be rested Sunday

    Danna (rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Despite being a full participant at practice Friday, Danna's availability for Week 18 is in question. If the Chiefs -- who have already earned the third seed in the AFC -- opt to rest Danna on Sunday, it could pave the way for Charles Omenihu to get more snaps.

  • One sack in loss

    Danna recorded four tackles and one sack in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Danna recorded his first game with four or more tackles since Week 7 and came up with a big sack in the fourth quarter to force a Packers field-goal attempt. The 26-year-old played in 38 defensive snaps, which was fewer than both George Karlaftis (48) and Charles Omenihu (44). Danna has now compiled a career-high 6.5 sacks and 39 tackles on the season, but recently has been in a three-man rotation with Karlaftis and Omenihu, which should be monitored by IDP managers in the upcoming weeks.

  • Another sack in loss

    Danna recorded three solo tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Danna was able to get to the quarterback again in Week 8, sacking Russell Wilson in the loss. The defensive end has now registered a sack in two straight games and three out of the last four contests overall. Danna has now compiled a career-high 28 tackles, 5.5 sacks and two pass deflections over the first eight games of 2023.

  • Secures sack in win

    Danna recorded six tackles (four solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Danna was able to match his season-high six tackles from Week 1 while also raising his sack total to 4.5 on the season. Now in his fourth year with Kansas City, the defensive end is just two tackles shy of matching his career-high 27 that he set in 2022.

  • Three tackles, including sack

    Danna recorded three solo tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Danna was once again able to get to the quarterback and he is now up to 2.5 sacks on the season. The defensive end set a career high with 27 tackles and five sacks in 2022 and he's on pace to leave those numbers in the dust this year.

  • Returns to practice

    Danna (calf) is practicing Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Danna suffered the injury in late July and has seemingly been absent from practice since. The Michigan product has been a key reserve on the Chiefs' defensive line since coming into the league in 2020, so his return is certainly good news for the team's pass-rushing rotation.

  • Not at practice

    Danna (calf) was absent from Saturday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: He was also absent during Friday's practice along with tight end Jody Fortson and linebacker Drue Tranquill. Danna registered 27 tackles, five sacks and two forced fumbles in 13 games last season and is a key depth piece for a Chiefs' defensive front led by Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi and George Karlaftis.

  • Another solid campaign in 2022

    Danna racked up 27 tackles (nine solo), five sacks and two forced fumbles during the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: Danna's 2022 campaign largely aligned with his previous two, but he did finish with career-high totals for both tackles and sacks. He's entering the final season of his rookie contract in 2023 and should maintain a regular role in the lineup for the Chiefs once again.

  • Returns in full

    Danna (calf) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Danna has been dealing with a calf injury over the last few weeks, but he took a key step forward by returning to practice in full Wednesday. He should return to the field Sunday against Tennessee barring any setbacks.

    Published: Wed, Nov 2 at 7:23pm by Rotowire.com

  • Full participant Thursday

    Danna (calf) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Danna had missed the team's last three games with a calf injury, but his ability to log a full session Thursday indicates he's moved past the issue. If the 257-pounder is indeed cleared for action against the Bills on Sunday, he'd likely serve as a rotational piece on the Chiefs' defensive line.

  • Sidelined Monday

    Danna (calf) was ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Danna will miss his third game in a row due to a lingering calf injury despite returning to practice in full last Thursday. With the 24-year-old out, expect Malik Herring and Carlos Dunlap to rotate in behind starting defensive ends George Karlaftis and Frank Clark.

    Published: Mon, Oct 10 at 4:03pm by Rotowire.com

  • Back in full Thursday

    Danna (calf) was listed as a full participant on the Chiefs' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Danna was limited during practice last week and was ruled out for the second straight game with a calf injury during Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. Now, the 6-foot-2 defensive end looks to be healthy again after logging two tackles over 70 defensive snaps through the first two weeks of the season. Danna should once again play a rotational role behind George Karlaftis and Frank Clark moving forward.

  • Remains out

    Danna (calf) is out Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Danna picked up the injury in Week 2 against the Chargers, and he was unable to play Sunday against the Colts. His ability to log limited practices Thursday and Friday at least signals that he may be available in Week 5 against the Raiders.

  • No-go for Week 3

    Danna (calf) has been ruled out for the Chiefs' Week 3 contest against the Colts on Sunday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Danna will be a no-go this weekend after suffering a calf injury in the Chiefs' Week 2 win over the Chargers. Malik Herring and Joshua Kaindoh will likely see an uptick in snaps on the defensive line Sunday.

  • Won't return Thursday

    Danna (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's game against the Chargers, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Danna recorded two tackles over 35 defensive snaps played before exiting with an unspecified calf injury during the second half of the Chiefs' Week 2 tilt. While the exact nature and severity of this issue is still unclear, the backup defensive end will now have a 10-day break to work his way back heading into Kansas City's next game Sept. 25.

  • Turns in two-sack performance

    Danna racked up four tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Kansas City's win over the Eagles in Week 4.

    Analysis: Danna was held without a sack during the first two weeks of the season, but over the Chiefs' last two games he's managed to bring down opposing quarterbacks three times. The second-year pro will work to continue his ascension Sunday night versus the Bills.

  • Activated from COVID list

    Danna was activated from the Chiefs' reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: After passing the league's COVID-19 protocols, Danna is able to rejoin the Chiefs ahead of Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup against the Browns.

  • Heads to COVID-19 list

    The Chiefs placed Danna (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Danna has either tested positive for the virus or been deemed a close contact of someone who has. As a result, he'll need to clear all COVID-related protocols before returning to team facilities.

  • Returns from IR

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Receives return designation

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Lands on IR

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Won't play Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Missing practice time

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

    Analysis: 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.

  • Ruled out with hamstring injury

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

    Analysis: 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.
