The Kansas City Chiefs have placed Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve, meaning he will miss the entire NFL season.
The defensive end, a former first-round draft pick, will be sidelined for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. He picked up the injury during Friday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks.
It is a major blow to Patrick Mahomes and his teammates' hopes of regaining their Super Bowl crown after February's heavy loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.
Anudike-Uzomah has played in 34 games for the Chiefs, starting three times.
He has made eight tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
