Chiefs First-Round Pick Mansoor Delane Hurts Shoulder After Interception in Debut Against Broncos
Delane’s first NFL interception set up an early Chiefs touchdown before the rookie cornerback left with a shoulder injury, the team said.
- On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane intercepted Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix on the opening possession, but exited the game with a shoulder injury.
- Kansas City moved up to select Delane sixth overall in the NFL draft to rebuild its cornerback room after trading Trent McDuffie and losing Jaylen Watson in free agency.
- Delane dealt with a shoulder-related injury earlier this year, missing minicamp and practicing with limitations during training camp, though Coach Andy Reid maintained he expected the rookie to be ready for the season.
- Returning his first NFL interception 5 yards to the Denver 46, Delane set up a short field for Patrick Mahomes, who rushed 15 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 Kansas City lead.
- Adding to Kansas City's early concerns, linebacker Cooper McDonald suffered a knee injury in the first quarter, while Denver wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. also left with a hip injury.
