Charles Omenihu expected to return to the AFC Championship after knee injury

Although the Kansas City Chiefs turned in a 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, one of their key players could not be a part of it.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu tore his ACL two weeks earlier as the Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game. Initially, there was some optimism about Omenihu’s injury — and the pass rusher emphatically stated to the media after the game that he would be ready for the Super Bowl.
