News

  • Won't play at Dolphins

    Clark (hip) is listed as out for Sunday's game at Miami, Armando Salguero of Fox News reports.

    Analysis: After missing practice all week, Clark will have to sit out a second consecutive game with a hip injury. 2022 second-rounder Nik Bonitto will continue to see increased reps in his stead.

    Published: Fri, Sep 22 at 5:19pm by Rotowire.com

  • Sits out practice

    Clark (hip) did not practice Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Clark sat out Sunday's loss to the Commanders and now could miss the team's Week 3 contest as well. If the 30-year-old ends up missing a second straight week, Nik Bonitto will likely see increased playing time.

  • Won't play versus Washington

    Clark (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark was injured in practice Wednesday and will reportedly miss multiple weeks. The 30-year-old saw action on 42 percent of the defensive snaps last week, rotating in as a pass rusher behind starters Randy Gregory and Jonathon Cooper. Clark picked up two tackles in the loss to the Raiders.

  • Likely out multiple weeks

    Clark is considered week-to-week after injuring his hip in Wednesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark ended up missing Thursday's practice and hasn't been officially ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Commanders, though Rapoport's report suggests the veteran edge rusher won't be available Week 2, and possibly another game or two beyond that. Nik Bonitto should be the first man up off the bench to serve as a rotational edge rusher behind starting outside linebackers Randy Gregory and Jonathon Cooper.

  • Missing practice Thursday

    Clark (hip) did not participate at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus Washington, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's a step in the wrong direction for Clark after he managed a limited practice Wednesday. It's looking increasingly unlikely he'll play in Week 2, and if he does indeed have to sit out, it will probably mean increased reps for 2022 sixth-rounder Matt Henningsen.

  • Inking deal with Denver

    Clark is slated to sign with the Broncos on a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The base of the deal is $5.5 million guaranteed, with the rest of the $2 million coming from incentives. Clark was released by the Chiefs in March after recording 39 tackles and five sacks across 15 games in 2022. He wasn't as productive in Kansas City as he was when he started his career in Seattle, but he brings a veteran presence and championship experience to a Broncos' defense that finished top 10 in yards per game last season.

  • Let go Tuesday

    The Chiefs released Clark on Tuesday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark was expected to be released after the two sides were unable to come to terms on a reworked deal, and now the transaction is official. The move will save the defending Super Bowl champions $21 million in cap space and will send the 2015 second-round pick on to the open market. While the 29-year-old isn't as productive as he once was, Clark can still be a solid contributor. He finished the 2022 campaign with 39 tackles and five sacks across 15 regular-season games.

  • Expected to be released by Chiefs

    The Chiefs are expected to release Clark, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Chiefs and Clark's representation met last week at the combine in Indianapolis to try and work out a new contract, but the sides were unable to find common ground. The anticipated move will clear $21 million in cap space for Kansas City. Clark had just five sacks last season and turns 30 years old in June.

  • Ramps up to full speed Thursday

    Clark (groin) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, per the team's official site.

    Analysis: Clark opened AFC divisional-round prep with two straight limited sessions as a result of the groin strain he picked up during Kansas City's regular-season finale versus Las Vegas, but his ability to practice without limitations Thursday now puts him on track to command his usual starting spot at defensive end against the Jaguars on Saturday.

  • Still dealing with injury

    Clark (groin) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark suffered a groin strain in the team's regular-season finale against the Raiders. He wasn't expected to miss any time after the team's bye week, so his limited participation is of some concern. However, with three days left before the team plays the Jaguars in the divisional round, Clark still has time to be ready to play Saturday.

  • Has minor groin strain

    Clark has a groin strain that coach Andy Reid described as minor, Nate Taylor of The Ahtletic reports.

    Analysis: Reid didn't seem overly concerned over the injury Clark suffered in Week 18 against the Raiders, clarifying that Clark "should be able to return after a little bit of rest." The Chiefs will get exactly that, as they have a bye into the divisional round as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Clark was a key member of Kansas City's pass rush in the regular season, racking up five sacks in 15 games.

  • Won't return versus Las Vegas

    Clark has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Raiders with a groin injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Clark logged one tackle before being ruled out during the third quarter. While the nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, it seems the Chiefs don't want to take any risks while currently up 24-6 over Las Vegas. It will be worth monitoring Clark's status during practice for additional clarity on his availability heading into the playoffs. In the short term, expect Carlos Dunlap and Mike Danna to see increased reps across from starting defensive end George Karlaftis in Saturday's…read more

  • Forces crucial fumble in OT

    Clark recorded five tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win against the Texans.

    Analysis: Clark made possibly his biggest impact of the season by forcing Houston quarterback Davis Mills to fumble on the Texans' first play of overtime. This set up Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon to score a game-winning 26-yard touchdown run on the next play from scrimmage. Clark also brought down Texans co-starting quarterback Jeff Driskel for a four-yard loss in the first quarter, increasing his season sack total to five across 12 games. The eighth-year defensive end will look to put up a…read more

  • Playing Sunday

    Clark (illness) is active Sunday against the Bengals, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Clark was a late addition to the team's injury report, but apparently he's feeling well enough to play. His ability to suit up should be a boon for the Chiefs' pass rush against the Bengals.

  • Uncertain to play Sunday

    The Chiefs added Clark to their Week 13 injury report and are listing him as questionable for Sunday's game in Cincinnati due to an illness.

    Analysis: Kansas City will likely wait and see how Clark progresses in his recovery from the illness over the next few hours before a decision on his status is made around 2:55 p.m. ET, when the team is set to release its inactive list. Clark ranks fourth on the Chiefs with three sacks on the season.

  • Returns from suspension

    Clark's two-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy was lifted by commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday, Charles Goodman of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Clark will not count against the Chiefs' 53-man roster limit thanks to a roster exemption, though he figures to be activated sometime ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The eighth-year defensive recorded 15 tackles, including three sacks, over the first seven games of the season, and he should reprise his starting role moving forward. Clark's return should help bolster Kansas City's deep corps of pass rushers alongside Carlos Dunlap and Chris Jones.

  • Suspended two games by league

    Clark received a two-game suspension from the NFL on Tuesday for violating the league's personal conduct policy, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Clark's two-game suspension arises from a pair of weapons charges regarding a June 2021 incident involving possession of a concealed firearm, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. While the Chiefs tend to their Week 8 bye, the 29-year-old will now miss the Week 9 matchup versus the Titans as well as the Week 10 contest against Jacksonville. While Clark is sidelined, Carlos Dunlap, Joshua Kaindoh and Mike Danna (calf) are in line for additional reps on Kansas City's defensive front.

  • Dodges Week 6 injury report

    Clark (illness) was a full participant at practice Friday and carries no game status designation into Sunday's game versus Buffalo.

    Analysis: Clark was forced out of Kansas City's win versus Las Vegas in Week 5 early with an unspecified illness, but it now appears he'll be ready to play again in Week 6. He should re-establish himself as the Chiefs' second starting defensive end across from George Karlaftis versus the Bills.

  • Exits versus Las Vegas

    Clark (illness) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Clark's return for the second half of Monday's game is up in the air due to an unspecified illness. The starting defensive end did not appear on the Chiefs' injury report during this week of practice, and it's unclear exactly when this issue materialized. Either way, expect Carlos Dunlap and Malik Herring to step up as Kansas City's only available defensive ends outside of starter George Karlaftis.

  • Eyeing bounce-back campaign

    Clark is healthy to start training camp and looking to bounce back after his worst statistical season since his rookie campaign, Dave Skretta of the Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Per Skretta, the 29-year-old swore off alcohol, red meat and sugar during the offseason and showed up to training camp looking noticeably trimmer and with a new outlook on life. "At some point you have to grow up," Frank said. The 2015 second-round pick was arrested twice during the 2021 offseason on gun-related charges, which have since been dismissed, and missed three of the first four games of last season due to a hamstring injury. He ultimately ended the 2021 campaign with just 22 tackles…read more

  • Reworks deal

    Clark restructured his contract to remain with Kansas City on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark signed a five-year, $105.5 million contract with the team in 2019, though this move will give Kansas City a bit more cap space to work with this offseason. He's remained a productive player, but his 4.5 sacks in 2021 was his lowest mark since his rookie campaign in 2015.

  • No injury designation for Week 5

    Clark doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Clark missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury, but he was a full participant in practice throughout this week. The 28-year-old recorded two solo tackles in his lone appearance this season.

  • No limitations Wednesday

    Clark (hamstring) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Clark was sidelined the last two games with the hamstring injury, but he appears to be healthy heading into Week 5. The 28-year-old also missed the season opener, so he's looking to make his second appearance of the season Sunday against the Bills.

  • Out versus Philly

    Clark (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Eagles.

    Analysis: Clark practiced in limited fashion throughout the week and the Chiefs have ultimately opted to err on the side of caution in Week 4. The absence will mark his second consecutive game missed due to his hamstring issue. Look for Mike Danna and Alex Okafor to see increased snaps as a a result.

  • Questionable against Philadelphia

    Clark (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Clark was limited in all three of Kansas City's practices this week due to this hamstring injury, which kept him from suiting up for the Chiefs' Week 3 loss to the Chargers. Getting Clark back would be a big boon to the struggling Kansas City defense, as Clark has racked up 46 sacks since the 2016 campaign, including 14 in 30 games as a member of the Chiefs.

  • Gets in limited practice

    Clark (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Clark suffered the injury in practice late last week and missed the team's Week 3 matchup against the Chargers as a result. The fact that he was able to practice in limited fashion early in the week bodes well for his chances to return in Week 4 against Philadelphia.

  • Not playing Week 3

    Clark (hamstring) is not playing Sunday against the Chargers, according to Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official website.

    Analysis: Clark wasn't expected to feature due to a hamstring injury, and this will probably mean Mike Danna will be in line for a bigger role on the defensive side of the ball. Clark recorded two tackles (both solo) in Week 2 against the Ravens.

  • Not looking good

    Clark (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Clark was listed as doubtful on the Friday injury report after straining his hamstring during Saturday's practice. However, the Chiefs are optimistic they'll have fellow pass rusher Chris Jones, who injured his wrist during last week's loss to Baltimore. With Clark likely out, the team will have extra DE snaps available for Alex Okafor and Mike Danna.

  • Likely to sit Week 3

    Clark (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Clark was unable to practice Friday after injuring his hamstring Thursday. If he sits as expected, Mike Danna will take on an expanded role on a Chiefs defensive line that could also be without Chris Jones (wrist), who's listed as questionable.

  • Picks up hamstring injury

    Clark suffered a hamstring injury during Thursday's practice, according to Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com.

    Analysis: Clark strained his hamstring in practice Thursday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid noted it's not the same hamstring he hurt during training camp. If Clark can't play Sunday, then Mike Danna could be in line for an expanded role.

  • Returns for full practice

    Clark was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Clark was sidelined by a hamstring issue for the team's season-opening contest against Cleveland. However, he's now on track to make his debut for a Week 2 matchup against the Ravens. Clark will return to be a key member of the Chiefs' defensive line, as he managed six sacks in 2020.

  • Not facing Cleveland

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

    Analysis: Clark had been previously listed as questionable despite logging an impressive practice Friday, but it seems he could've suffered some kind of setback that forced him to be unavailable for this one. As a result, Mike Danna could be in line for a bigger role Sunday.

  • Undergoing MRI

    Clark (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on his hamstring, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: There is an optimistic feeling that Clark could still be ready for the regular-season opener next month -- but more insight will be gained on the severity of the injury once the MRI is complete. In his absence, look for Mike Danna and Taco Charlton to receive some valuable preseason reps.

  • Suffers hamstring strain

    Clark suffered a hamstring strain at Thursday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The timing of Clark's hamstring injury could make him a likely candidate to sit out Saturday's preseason opener against the 49ers. Of course, the veteran defensive end can get by without preseason reps as long as he's healthy in time to kick off Week 1. Clark was charged with felony possession of an assault weapon back in July -- a charge stemming from a March arrest --and his arraignment is scheduled for October.

  • Will report to camp

    Coach Andy Reid confirmed Friday that Clark will report to the start of training camp, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Frank is facing two felony charges related to a June arrest. While the veteran's legal situation plays out, he will be eligible to participate in training camp activities alongside teammates. However, it remains possible that Clark will be forced to miss time this season, so his situation warrants monitoring.

  • Faces another felony charge

    Clark was charged Friday in Los Angeles with one felony count of possession of an assault weapon, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Clark was arrested and charged in June for felony illegal possession of a firearm. This is a new charge related to a March arrest. His arraignment is set for July 14. Clark signed a five-year, $105.5 million contract in April 2019, and he's accrued 66 tackles, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 29 regular-season contests. It's presently unclear how his current legal situation will impact his status for the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Clark was booked following a traffic stop and later released on bond Monday afternoon. After the Chiefs acquired him via a trade with the Seahawks in April 2019, they reached an agreement on a five-year, $105.5 million contract. In two years since the move, Clark has racked up 66 tackles, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception in 29 regular-season games.

  • Finishes out season on good terms

    Clark compiled six sacks and 29 tackles (21 solo) over 15 games during the 2020 regular season.

    Analysis: Clark started the season hot with three sacks in the first four games but managed just one total between Weeks 5 and 13. Fortunately, the veteran found his second wind down the stretch and added a pair of sacks over the final three games to carry him into the postseason. Clark remains under contract for the next three seasons.

    Clark (illness) was a non-participant during the Chiefs' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: Clark faced no limitations during Wednesday's practice, but he's now surfaced with an issue three days prior to the team's Week 16 matchup. The two-time Pro Bowler has been able to avoid a missed game all season, and he's sat out a total of just four contests over six professional campaigns. If he's unable to face the Falcons, Tim Ward or Alex Okafor would be the top candidates to fill in at the veteran's defensive end spot.

  • Notches fourth sack

    Clark made two tackles (one solo) and a sack in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Clark battled a knee injury all week but showed no ill effects during the game, recording an 86 percent snap share and his fourth sack of the year. The 27-year-old defensive end has never been consistent in the tackle column, but he offers fantasy mangers upside on a weekly basis due to his pass-rushing ability.

  • Active as expected

    Clark (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Clark was expected to suit up in the contest despite never logging full practice time, so this is good news for the Chiefs pass rush. Expect the veteran to handle his normal snap count, as he's racked up three sacks and a fumble recovery through the first eight games of the campaign.

  • On track to play

    Clark (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark never practiced fully this week while managing the knee injury, but he was at least able to get some limited activity in Thursday and Friday. Assuming he doesn't experience any setbacks while warming up or during the contest, Clark should start and handle his usual snap count. The defensive end has tallied 18 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery through the Chiefs' first eight games.

  • Deemed questionable

    Clark (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Clark's knee swelled up following last week's win over the Jets, but he was able to log two straight limited practices to close out the week. That bodes well for his chances to play, although he'll likely be closely monitored over the weekend. The 27-year-old defensive end has produced three sacks and 16 quarterback pressures through eight games, so any replacement would be a steep downgrade to the Chiefs' pass rush. Mike Danna and Taco Charlton are the top candidates to step in if Clark can't…read more

  • Missing Wednesday's practice

    Clark (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark is dealing with swelling in his knee, but he'll still have two more chances to resume practicing before the Chiefs have to tag him with an injury designation for Week 9. He'll look to break his four-game streak without a sack if cleared to face Carolina on Sunday.

  • Steps up Monday night

    Clark recorded four tackles (all solo) and a sack across 61 defensive snaps in Monday's win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: With Chris Jones (groin) sidelined for Monday's game, Clark stepped up as the leader on the defensive line, trailing only Tanoh Kpassagnon for reps in the contest among the unit. Clark now has three sacks on the season, a trend he'll look to maintain Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Records second sack of 2020

    Clark notched a sack with his only tackle Monday versus the Ravens.

    Analysis: Clark has now recorded two sacks through the first three contests, but it may not be enough to put him on the IDP radar in many formats due to a lack of tallies in other categories. Through the first three weeks, Clark has just six total tackles (four solo), and it seems unlikely that will balloon much given that he tallied just 37 over 14 games last season. However, Clark still remains an option in leagues that only count sacks.

  • Cleared from ailment

    Clark (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Clark was forced to leave last Sunday's game against the Chargers with the illness, but as evidenced by this news, he appears to have gotten over the ailment. Now healthy, expect Clark to handle his usual starting role at defensive end for Monday's game against Baltimore.

  • Leaves field Sunday

    Clark is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers due to an illness.

    Analysis: Clark notched two tackles (one solo) before leaving the field. As long as he's sidelined, Taco Charlton and Michael Danna figure to see increased opportunities.

  • Grabs sack in win

    Clark recorded three tackles (two solo) and one sack during Thursday's 34-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Clark and Chris Jones (1.5 sacks) combined to overwhelm Houston's offensive front, providing consistent pressure despite the mobility of Deshaun Watson. Coming off such a convincing performance against Texans tackle Tytus Howard, Clark looks to be in good position to make an impact Week 2 versus the Chargers.

  • Maintains production in 2019

    Clark tallied 37 tackles (27 solo), eight sacks and one interception over 14 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: While Clark's raw numbers slightly declined from what he posted during his final season in Seattle in 2018, a pair of missed games in the middle of the season can account for some of that. Clark did see a notable drop-off in his ability to get the quarterback on the ground, falling five sacks short of the career-best 13 he tallied in 2018. However, he was a force down the stretch and in the playoffs, registering seven sacks from Week 16 through the postseason. Clark should resume his…read more

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Clark (illness/shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark spent the week recovering from a stomach virus and shoulder injury. He'll suit up Sunday despite officially being listed as questionable, but it remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old pass rusher will be limited in any capacity. Clark played just 55 percent and 46 percent of snaps on defense in the last two contests.

  • Should play Sunday

    Clark (illness/shoulder) is expected to play Sunday against the Broncos, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark continues to recover from a stomach virus but remains on track to suit up Sunday, as coach Andy Reid indicated earlier in the week. The 26-year-old was limited to 55 percent and 46 percent of defensive snaps in the last two games, and it's unclear if he'll be limited again in Week 15.

  • Officially questionable

    Clark (illness/shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Clark is still recovering from a stomach virus, which necessitated a meeting with a specialist earlier this week after he lost around 12 pounds, per Peter Schrager of FoxSports.com. The veteran defensive end kicked off the week with back-to-back absences from practice, but he took the field without limitations Friday. According to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, coach Andy Reid said after Friday's session that Clark is trending in the right direction to play, but the 26-year-old's status…read more

  • Visiting specialist Thursday

    Clark (illness) is meeting with a specialist Thursday to address his stomach issue, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Clark managed to play through his aliment during Week 14's win over the Patriots, but he was held to a season-low 31 percent of snaps. The veteran defensive end was initially thought to be dealing with a flu, but it now appears as though his malady is of a trickier nature. Friday's practice session will reveal more information about Clark's chances of suiting up against Denver on Sunday.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Clark (shoulder/illness) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Clark was able to play through both issues in this past Sunday's win over the Patriots, but the fifth-year defensive end met with doctors Wednesday regarding the stomach illness. It's possible Clark has suffered a setback, so his practice status is worth monitoring for the rest of the week.

  • Dealing with illness

    Clark will meet with doctors Wednesday as he nurses a stomach illness, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark battled a shoulder injury and an illness ahead of this past Sunday's win over the Patriots, and despite recording a season-low 31 defensive snaps, he notched his fifth sack in as many games. The fifth-year pro will likely be listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice, but Thursday and Friday's sessions will reveal more about his status.

  • Ready to face Patriots

    Clark (shoulder/illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Clark was limited during Wednesday's practice and sat out of Thursday and Friday's sessions due to an illness, but he's good to go for the critical AFC showdown. The 26-year-old defensive end has picked up his pass rush lately with four sacks over the last four contests, but it'll be tough to get to Tom Brady, who has been sacked on just 4.1 percent of his dropbacks this season.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Clark (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Clark began the week as a limited practice participant, but it appears the illness relegated him to non-participation Thursday and Friday. The 26-year-old may end up being a game-time decision, and according to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star, the 26-year-old will be making the trip to New England.

  • Working in limited capacity

    Clark (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Clark didn't return to action after exiting this past Sunday's win over the Raiders, but it's a positive sign that he's on the practice field Wednesday. The fifth-year defensive end will look to elevate to full participation by Friday's drills. Clark has four sacks over the last four games, and Tanoh Kpassagnon is standing by in case Clark can't go.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Clark was forced out of Sunday's game against the Raiders with a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Clark registered a tackle for loss before exiting the contest, and Tanoh Kpassagnon filled in for the remainder of the game. The Chiefs held a commanding lead when Clark exited, so there's hope that he was held out as a precautionary measure. It'll be worth keeping an eye on the disruptive defensive end's practice status leading up to Week 14's clash against the Patriots, as Clark was hitting his stride with four sacks over the previous three contests.

  • Disruptive in divisional win

    Clark tallied five tackles, a sack and a forced fumble in Monday's 24-17 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Clark was in Phillip Rivers' face all night, as he tacked on three quarterback hits as well. The fifth-year pro's responsible for Rivers' first interception, as he swatted the quarterback's arm and the ball fell into defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi's arms. It took Clark a while to reach peak form after being traded to the Chiefs and signing a long-term deal, but he's certainly there now with four sacks and two forced fumbles over his last three outings. Clark will look to continue his trajectory…read more

  • Solid in return from injury

    Clark had four tackles (four solo), a sack and a pass defended in Sunday's 35-32 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Clark was forced to miss the past two games with a neck injury, but managed to rack up his third sack in the past two games. It was reported following Sunday's game that Clark has been dealing with a pinched nerve in his neck since training camp, forcing him to play with caution, so it's certainly a situation to monitor going forward. Despite injury concerns, he's still led all Kansas City defensive ends in snaps this season.

  • Dealing with nerve injury

    Clark has been managing with a pinched nerve in his neck since training camp, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports. "I've been playing timid," Clark said.

    Analysis: McDowell added Clark revealed he couldn't feel two of his fingers while playing, forcing him to play through pain. The 26-year-old has missed two games this season with the issue and has managed his practice reps. It's unclear if the injury will force him to miss time again, but it looks as though the pinched nerve could be a problem for Clark the rest of the season.

    Analysis: Clark missed Kansas City's last two contests due to his lingering neck issue, but he appears to have a shot at retaking the field Week 10. With Alex Okafor (ankle) sidelined, Clark's presence would be a notable boost for the Chiefs' defensive line.
