What happened: Chris Jones rejoined the team in Atlanta and will play in Sunday's game against the Falcons. Jones did not travel with the team due to personal reasons before arriving on his own.

Why it matters: Jones anchors the defensive interior after previously being expected to play for Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 3. His availability bolsters Kansas City against an Atlanta team coming off a 34-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

By the numbers: Jones has made 17 tackles with 2.5 sacks in 2026 through 8 games.

What to watch: The Chiefs face the Falcons on Sunday in Atlanta.
