The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season, 30-21, to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. During the fourth quarter, Felix Anudike-Uzomah seemed to have suffered an injury.
Luckily, FAU injury didn’t force him to leave the field, so it went unnoticed by many.
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters after the game that FAU suffered a hand injury and nothing more serious.
#Chiefs HC Andy Reid says FAU hurt his hand at the end of the game, but he stayed in the game. That’s the only injury.

FAU logged only a tackle assist against the Bills. While that’s next to nothing, having him healthy is important because it provides depth at the defensive end.
It’s a good sign that FAU wasn’t forced to exit the game after suffering the hand injury. Typically, when a defensive linemen hurts their hand it’s a problem since they need to use them to get to the quarterback.
Thankfully, in FAU’s case the injury doesn’t seem to be that severe. Despite the injury not being severe, the Chiefs don’t have to count on FAU now that Mike Danna is back. With Danna back FAU fell back into a backup spot.
Not only did Danna return but, the Chiefs also added Josh Uche before the deadline giving them plenty of options still. So, even if FAU’s injury turned out to be serious the team wouldn’t have to fret.
Hopefully, FAU’s injury doesn’t turn out to be severe, though. Having him available gives the Chiefs depth on a defensive line. After not getting a sack on the Bills it seems they need as much help as they can get up front.
