Chiefs Lose Key Rookie to ACL Injury | Kansas City Chiefs News
Description
Chiefs’ promising rookie defensive end Ethan Downs, just 23 and a former undrafted free agent, tore his ACL during rookie camp — a brutal blow right as training camp kicks into gear. Once a standout at Oklahoma with 32 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks, Downs made his NFL debut with a fumble-forcing tackle and five stops for the Chiefs. Signed to a two-year, $1.845M deal, he’s now likely headed to injured reserve. His absence opens the door for Tyreke Smith, VJ Anthony, and Anthony Dunn to seize roster spots — a tough loss for Downs, but a potential opportunity for others.
