"A second-round pick, Norman-Lott was injured late in the third quarter as he fell to the turf while pursuing Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. The play ended with left tackle Stone Forsythe putting all of his weight on top of Norman-Lott, committing a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty. Norman-Lott, who screamed in frustration while grabbing his right knee, was helped off the field by teammates Patrick Mahomes, Nohl Williams and Ashton Gillotte."
"Prior to Norman-Lott's injury, the Chiefs were planning to increase his snaps in the coming weeks, hoping he could develop into a consistent contributor as part of the team's pass rush alongside All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones and defensive end George Karlaftis. Through five games, Norman-Lott finishes his rookie season with five tackles and a sack. In the preseason, the Chiefs also had another significant injury to the defensive line as defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah, the team's first-round pick in 2023, was placed on season-ending injured reserve in August with a strained right hamstring."
Omarr Norman-Lott, a second-round rookie defensive tackle, suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee late in the third quarter of Kansas City's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He fell while pursuing Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty and was pinned when left tackle Stone Forsythe put his weight on top of him, drawing a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty. Norman-Lott grabbed his right knee and was helped off by teammates Patrick Mahomes, Nohl Williams and Ashton Gillotte. Norman-Lott finished five games with five tackles and a sack. With Felix Anudike-Uzomah already on season-ending IR, the Chiefs now have Chris Jones, Jerry Tillery and Derrick Nnadi at defensive tackle and are expected to pursue a veteran before the Nov. 4 trade deadline with about $5.5 million in cap space.
