View Date:2024-12-23 15:49:03
It looks like the Kansas City Chiefs will be without one of their star defenders for Super Bowl 58.
According to multiple reports on Monday, defensive lineman Charles Omenihu tore his ACL in the AFC championship game on Sunday and won't face his former team, the San Francisco 49ers, in the Super Bowl.
NFL Network and Bleacher Report both reported the news.
Omenihu made a post on X, formerly Twitter, with a lone broken heart emoji.
His fellow defensive lineman Chris Jones also posted on the social media platform.

"Praying for my brotha Charles…." he wrote with a broken heart emoji.
Omenihu exited the Chiefs' victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the second quarter. He was evaluated for a knee injury and ruled out of the game after halftime. He had a strip sack of Lamar Jackson before suffering the injury.
"I wish I was there to finish the game out," he told KSHB 41 News reporter Aaron Ladd after the game. "... It's just crazy. We're going to the Super Bowl forreal."
The former Texas Longhorn joined the Chiefs last offseason from the 49ers. He had a career-high 28 tackles and seven sacks this season. He was drafted by the Houston Texans in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft.
Super Bowl 58 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The game will be a rematch of Super Bowl 54, which the Chiefs won 31-20.
