  • Past shoulder issue

    Mathieu (forearm) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu appeared to sustain a shoulder injury in the third quarter of the Saints' Week 13 win over the Rams. However, Wednesday's injury report clarified that the issue is with his forearm. With Mathieu's full participation Wednesday, it appears he's already moved past the injury. The veteran safety is expected to remain a key leader on New Orleans' defense in Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Mathieu (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams.

    Analysis: Mathieu checked out of the game in the third quarter after making a hard tackle on running back Kyren Williams, according to Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. The safety ultimately went into the medical tent per Johnson and has since returned to the sideline with his shoulder wrapped. In his Mathieu's absence, J.T. Gray and Jordan Howden stand to see an increase in workload at safety.

  • Past illness

    Mathieu (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu didn't practice Wednesday while battling an illness, but it appears he's over the issue as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2013 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Mathieu's two interceptions through eight regular-season outings is second most on the Saints behind Paulson Adebo (leg).

  • Dealing with illness

    Mathieu (illness) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mathieu is working through an illness, which will impact his practice participation over the next two days.

Through the first eight games of the regular season, Mathieu has logged 33 tackles (26 solo), three passes defended, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

    Analysis: Mathieu sustained a forearm injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, but Monday's full practice estimation suggests he's already moved past the issue. Expect the 12th-year pro to serve as the Saints' top free safety in Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Mathieu was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers early by a wrist injury, but it's apparently not anything severe. If his coach's optimism proves to be misplaced, Johnathan Abram would be next in line at safety.

    Mathieu is dealing with injuries to his calf, heel and groin, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu left midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons due to a groin injury. The 2013 third-round pick told reporters after the game that he had a calf injury earlier in the season and entered Sunday's contest with a lingering heel injury. The Saints will have an extra day's rest heading into their next game against the Chiefs on Oct. 7, and given the myriad of lower-body injuries, Mathieu could be limited or held out of practices leading up to that contest.…read more

    Analysis: Mathieu had been dealing with the heel injury leading up to Week 2 against the Cowboys, but he was able to suit up for that contest after starting the week as a DNP. The fact that he started this week as a limited participant suggests that the 2013 third-round pick is progressing through the injury, and barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 3 against the Eagles.

  • Gets on field

    Mathieu (heel) was a limited participant during practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Mathieu missed practice Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the veteran safety and puts him on a trajectory to suit up Sunday against the Cowboys. However, his status on Friday's injury report will be worth monitoring.

    Mathieu (heel) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mathieu is coming off a dominant Week 1 performance against the Panthers, in which he tallied four solo tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. The star safety's availability will be crucial for the Saints as the team prepares to take on the Cowboys on Sunday, so it will be worth monitoring whether Mathieu is able to do more in practice Thursday and/or Friday.

  • Recovers fumble vs. Panthers

    Mathieu registered four solo tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 47-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Mathieu punched the ball out of Jonathan Mingo's hands in the second quarter of Sunday's game, and the former was able to recover the fumble, leading to a 52-yard field goal by Blake Grupe seven plays later. Mathieu registered all four of his tackles in the first half and finished the game playing just 25 defensive snaps, but that was due to game script and the Saints' large lead.

Despite a slight drop in his numbers in 2023, Mathieu remained effective, tallying 75 total tackles and nine passes defended, including four interceptions through 17 regular-season contests.

    Mathieu hasn't cleared the NFL's concussion protocol as of Saturday, but he's expected to do so in advance of Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Bengals, Matt Verderame of FanSided.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu sustained a head injury during last Sunday's divisional-round win against the Bills when he was accidentally kicked in the helmet by Josh Allen while tackling the quarterback on the first possession of the contest. While Mathieu didn't practice Wednesday, he returned in full Thursday and Friday, signifying that he only requires clearance from an independent neurologist to be able to play this weekend. He'll need to do so by approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff…read more

  • On track to play

    Mathieu (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, with Chiefs coach Andy Reid saying Friday that he expects the defensive back to play, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star suggests Mathieu is on track to clear the NFL's concussion protocol Saturday, at which points the Chiefs could also choose to remove him from the final injury report (or not). Mathieu suffered the injury on his seventh snap in last week's win over the Bills, leaving Daniel Sorensen in an every-down role for the remainder of the contest. Sorensen doesn't lack for experience, but the Chiefs should be especially glad to get Mathieu back in the lineup after last…read more

  • Full participant Thursday

    Mathieu (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: While coach Andy Reid indicated that Mathieu hasn't yet cleared the league's concussion protocol, it was encouraging to see him back in action without limitations Thursday. Assuming he clears the protocols in the coming days, it wouldn't be surprising to see him start in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals.

  • Feeling better but misses practice

    Mathieu (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the defensive back is doing well and has a chance to play Sunday against the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu and Chiefs nickelback Rashad Fenton (back) are expected to be the only starters listed on the injury reports for either team ahead of Sunday's contest. Fenton missed the first two weeks of the playoffs, but his return to practice Wednesday combined with Reid's optimism on Mathieu suggests the Chiefs could have a healthy secondary by Sunday.

  • Remains in concussion protocol

    Mathieu is in the protocol for head injuries after suffering a concussion during Sunday's playoff victory over the Bills, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu sustained the injury on Buffalo's first drive and was unable to retake the field after the diagnosis was confirmed. The 29-year-old apparently is feeling well, but he'll need to clear league protocols to have a chance of suiting up this weekend against the Bengals.

  • Won't return against Bills

    Mathieu (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Further testing confirmed a concussion for Mathieu. He's done for the remainder of the divisional round and will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol to suit up if the Chiefs advance in the postseason.

  • Evaluated for concussion

    Mathieu is being evaluated for a concussion Sunday against the Bills, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu was hit in the head by his own teammate on Buffalo's first drive of the divisional round matchup. The safety was escorted to the locker room for testing, and his return can be considered questionable at this time.

  • Consistent presence on back end

    Mathieu compiled 78 tackles (60 solo), a sack and three interceptions during the 2021 regular season.

    Analysis: Mathieu has been a model of consistency since joining the Chiefs. He's played in no fewer than 15 games in each campaign and has racked up 60-plus tackles and at least three interceptions in all three seasons. Mathieu is finishing up the last of his three-year deal with the Chiefs and may command a hefty salary on the open market, which could result in the veteran moving on from Kansas City.

  • Full participant Wednesday

    Mathieu (quadriceps) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Mathieu left Sunday's blowout win over the Steelers in the second half due to a quad contusion, but coach Andy Reid said Mathieu "feels great" after going through a full practice Wednesday. Barring a setback, the star safety will likely be available when the Chiefs face the Bengals in Week 17.

  • Likely available Sunday

    Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Mathieu (quadriceps) "feels great" after leaving Sunday's win over the Steelers in the second half, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs were blowing the Steelers out when Mathieu was ruled out for the rest of the game, so that may have caused Kansas City to be overly cautious with the star defensive back. Reid also said that the athletic trainers were able to work on the injury right away, which may have allowed Mathieu to recover more quickly than usual. With that said, the Chiefs have yet to release their practice report, which will give a better indication of what Mathieu's status will look like for Week 17.

  • Done for today

    Mathieu (quadriceps) will not return Sunday against the Steelers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu exited in the second half with the injury. The severity of the injury is unknown and whether Mathieu's inability to return has more to do with the score and time left in the game or the extent of the injury itself. Daniel Sorensen will likely see extra work for the remainder of the game. After the game, coach Andy Reid clarified that Mathieu's injury is a quad contusion, per Nate Taylor of The Athletic, so Mathieu is unlikely to miss additional game action as a result of the injury.

  • Two turnovers in limited play

    Mathieu produced five solo tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Mathieu had a relatively lackluster tackling performance in the blowout win for the Chiefs, as he played less than 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps (44) for just the second time this season. Nevertheless, Mathieu still managed to account for two turnovers for the first time since Week 2. The star safety has 63 tackles (51 solo), three interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 12 games in 2021.

  • Tallies season-high tackle count

    Mathieu compiled a season-high nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Mathieu's 2021 season remains on track to finish near the previous two he turned in for the Chiefs. Through 11 games, Mathieu has 58 tackles (46 solo), a sack and a pair of interceptions, giving him just enough fantasy value to warrant IDP consideration in some formats. Mathieu hasn't tallied an interception since Week 2, however, so he shouldn't be counted on to consistently get involved in that aspect.

  • Suiting up Week 11

    Mathieu (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The star safety was a late addition to the injury report, which naturally raised concerns about his availability for Sunday's interconference showdown. However, Mathieu will fill his usual role against a short-handed Cowboys passing game that will be down Amari Cooper (reserve/COVID-19).

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Mathieu is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Mathieu was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a good sign for his availability against Dallas. Backup strong safety Armani Watts (illness) is also questionable, so the Chiefs may need to rely on Daniel Sorensen and Juan Thornhill as their top two safeties against Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' high-powered offense.

    Mathieu was a non-participant at Friday's practice due to an illness.

    Analysis: The severity of Mathieu's illness is unclear at this time, but he will have an extra day to recover with the Chiefs' Week 8 game being played on Monday. Armani Watts would presumably be in line to replace him at strong safety if Mathieu is ultimatley unable to suit up.

  • Another five stops

    Mathieu recorded five tackles in Sunday's 31-13 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Mathieu has been on the field for 100 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps since Week 2. He's recorded at least five tackles in four of five contests while also racking up four passes defended and two interceptions on the campaign.

  • Posts five solo tackles

    Mathieu recorded five solo tackles in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Mathieu recorded six solo tackles, three pass breakups and two interceptions, including a pick-six, in Week 2. That's the upside Mathieu brings to the table, so fantasy managers should be satisfied with his Week 3 effort. The Chiefs will look to bounce back against the Eagles in Week 4.

  • Delivers two picks, touchdown

    Mathieu had six tackles (all solo) and recorded two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, during Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Mathieu picked off Lamar Jackson on the third play from scrimmage and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown, which is the third score of his career. The 29-year-old added another interception late in the first quarter as he picked off Jackson in the end zone. Mathieu missed the season opener after testing positive for COVID-19 in early September, but he looked like his playmaking self during his season debut in Week 2.

  • Ready for game action

    Mathieu was not listed on the Chiefs' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Mathieu was held out of the team's opening game due to an illness, though he managed to participate in warmups prior to the contest. His absence from the injury report and full return to practice means Mathieu will be in line for his season debut in a Week 2 matchup against the Ravens.

  • Won't play in season opener

    Mathieu (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

  • Status in question for Sunday

    Mathieu (illness), who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Mathieu tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 1, which seemingly gave him enough time to clear all the hurdles associated with NFL protocols and get back on the active roster. He accomplished the feat just one day before the Chiefs' season opener, but perhaps the team is concerned with his conditioning due to the long layoff. Mathieu's status for Week 1 will become known approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Activated from COVID list

    Mathieu was activated from the COVID-19 list Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports

    Analysis: The Chiefs announced Mathieu's activation Saturday, but the team plans to monitor the 29-year-old ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Mathieu has not participated in practice for over a week, so the team may just be taking precautions to make sure its star safety is ready for game action. If the veteran plays, he will likely give the Chiefs a boost on defense against a Cleveland offense that projects to be formidable in 2021.

  • Week 1 status in doubt

    Mathieu (illness) didn't practice Thursday, and his status for Sunday's season opener against the Browns remains up in the air, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu was placed in the COVID protocols eight days ago. While individuals who are vaccinated -- which Mathieu reportedly is -- don't need to spend a full 10 days in the protocols and can return once they produce two negative tests 48 hours apart, they also must be asymptomatic for 48 hours to be cleared. The deadline to activate Mathieu will be Saturday at 4:00 p.m. EDT.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Coach Andy Reid said Mathieu (illness) won't practice Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was expected to rejoin the team ahead of Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if he has cleared protocols and simply isn't practicing, or if he is still under protocols, as he hasn't officially been activated off the COVID-19 list. The star safety will be in danger of missing Week 1 if he continues to be absent at practice. Armani Watts is the most likely candidate to start at safety if Mathieu is unable to go.

  • Could return Wednesday

    Coach Andy Reid said Mathieu (illness) remains in COVID-19 protocols, but the safety could rejoin the team ahead of Wednesday's practice, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mathieu has been on the COVID-19 list since testing positive for the virus last week, but he could end up getting a full week of practice ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Browns. Armani Watts remains the likely candidate to start at safety should Mathieu be unable to gain clearance in time.

    Analysis: Mathieu has a chance to return after a relatively brief absence since he's fully vaccinated, according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. Under the league's health and safety protocols, he'll need to produce two negative tests administered at least 24 hours apart before returning to the team.

  • Turnover machine in 2020

    Mathieu cranked out 62 tackles (48 solo) and a career-high six interceptions during the 2020 regular season.

    Analysis: Mathieu has been nothing short of spectacular since joining the Chiefs prior to the 2019 season, compiling a combined 10 interceptions and 132 tackles (111 solo). He failed to record a sack for the first time since 2014, but Mathieu made up for it with his ball-hawking ways and remains one of the elite safeties in the NFL. He's owed significant money leading up to 2021 but has given Kansas City little reason to cut ties with his performance since joining the club.

    Mathieu paved the way with a team-best eight tackles (six solo) Thursday versus the Texans.

    Analysis: Mathieu is no stranger to helping out in the run game, posting at least 75 tackles in each of his last three seasons. While his opening night was fairly quiet otherwise, the Honey Badger does enough on a weekly basis to warrant IDP consideration.

  • Turns in another impressive season

    Mathieu totaled 75 tackles (63 solo), four interceptions and two sacks across 16 regular-season contests in 2019.

    Analysis: Mathieu fell 14 tackles shy of matching the career-high total he recorded in both 2014 and 2018, but he doubled up his interception total from the previous campaign. The safety has two years remaining on the contract he signed with the Chiefs last March, so he should retain his spot at the back end of the Kansas City defense next season.

    Mathieu notched six tackles (all solo) and a pass defensed Sunday versus the Bears.

    Analysis: Mathieu has notched at least five tackles in each of the last three weeks, leaving him on the IDP radar in some leagues at a defensive back slot. The seventh-year safety would need 14 tackles next week to reach his season total from last year, but he has already surpassed the interceptions mark and is just one off his sack total.

    Analysis: Mathieu has hit a fantasy stride in recent weeks, notching six tackles against the Patriots the week prior and an interception in each of the two weeks before that. Chicago typically tries to get tight ends and running backs involved in the passing game, so Mathieu could have another solid tackle day ahead in Week 16.
