KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cornerback Trent McDuffie left the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason finale against Green Bay with a possible concussion.
The team announced midway through the first quarter that McDuffie had entered the concussion protocol.

McDuffie made a nice open-field tackle to prevent a first down against Packers running back Tyler Goodson on the game’s opening drive.
He didn’t return for the Chiefs’ second drive.
Kansas City moved up in the first round during the 2022 NFL Draft to select McDuffie with the 21st overall pick.
With Rashad Fenton out for most of training camp, first as he recovered from shoulder surgery then after suffering a groin injury, McDuffie has been a staple with the first-team defense.
The Chiefs open the season Sept. 11 at the Arizona Cardinals, so there’s still hope that McDuffie and Fenton will be ready to go for the regular season.
