KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs plan to have pass rusher Charles Omenihu, who was suspended the first six games of the regular season, available on their surprisingly stingy defense when they play the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Omenihu would get back into the mix at defensive end this week.
The expectation is that he could play some snaps against their AFC West rival, though how many and in what situations remains to be seen.
The Chiefs signed Omenihu to a two-year, $16 million contract last offseason, even though they knew a suspension was likely.
He was playing for the 49ers last season when police were called to his San Jose home for a report of domestic violence, according to the San Jose Police Department. A woman who said she was Omenihu’s girlfriend told officers that he had “pushed her to the ground during an argument,” though there were no visible injuries and she declined medical treatment.
The NFL ended up suspending him six games for violating its personal conduct policy.
