Kader Kohou faces tough roster spot challenge with Chiefs after injury
Summary

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Kader Kohou is at risk of not making the final 53-man roster due to injury issues. Kohou, who missed the 2025 season with a torn ACL, signed with the Chiefs aiming to regain his previous form. With the team making significant changes to their secondary and having several other cornerbacks vying for spots, analysts are skeptical about his chances. Kohou previously posted a 68.9 PFF coverage grade in 2024, but recent additions like Mansoor Delane and Nohl Williams may solidify the starting roles, complicating Kohou's bid for a roster spot. The final decisions on roster cuts will take place soon.
