Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Not playing against Denver
Karlaftis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Karlaftis will get some additional rest since the Chiefs have locked in the AFC's No. 1 seed. He'll end his third NFL regular season with 35 tackles (21 solo), including 8.0 sacks, and five pass defenses across 16 games. Charles Omenihu and Felix Anudike-Uzomah are in line to see more defensive snaps due to Karlaftis' absence.

Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Doubtful for Sunday
Karlaftis (coach's decision) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
The third-year edge rusher from Purdue's regular-season campaign is likely over, as the Chiefs have already secured the AFC's No. 1 seed and are expected to rest their starters in the Week 18 divisional matchup. Karlaftis has appeared in 16 games for Kansas City this season, recording 35 total tackles, including 8.0 sacks, and five passes defended. Charles Omenihu will likely see increased opportunities with the Chiefs' first-team defense if Karlaftis is sidelined Sunday.

Chiefs' George Karlaftis: Limited Wednesday
Karlaftis (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The third-year pro from Purdue played 33 defensive snaps and recorded four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Chiefs' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers. However, it now appears he picked up an abdomen injury in the process. Karlaftis' participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the pain in Week 10's matchup against the Broncos.
