Unavailable for Week 18
Karlaftis (rest) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Questionable yet healthy
Karlaftis (rest) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Karlaftis was a limited participant throughout Week 18, but his injury status is listed as non-injured rest. The defensive end signed a four-year, $93 million contract with the Chiefs in July. The team may just be looking to protect a valuable asset ahead of the 2026 season, as Kansas City missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 campaign.

Active for Week 17
Karlaftis (illness) is active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Karlaftis will be good to go for Week 17 after being added to the injury report with an illness Wednesday. The defensive lineman has compiled 46 total tackles (24 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 15 games so far this year.

Under the weather, iffy for Week 17
Karlaftis (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Denver.
Analysis: Karlaftis popped up on Wednesday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to an illness, which puts him in jeopardy of playing Christmas Day. Charles Omenihu, Ashton Gillotte, Mike Pennel and Jerry Tillery would be in line for larger rotational roles on the defensive line if one or both of Karlaftis and Derrick Nnadi (illness) were unable to play.
