Tranquill logged seven tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Monday's 30-24 overtime win over the Buccaneers. Tranquill combined with Felix Anudike-Uzomah for an eight-yard sack on Baker Mayfield late in the fourth quarter of Monday's game.

Tranquill logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders. Tranquill registered his first sack of the 2024 regular season Sunday as he got to Gardner Minshew for a three-yard loss on the first play of the second quarter. Midway through the fourth quarter, Minshew was stripped of the ball by Mike Pennel, and Tranquill was in the right place at the right time to scoop up the ball which led to a nine-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Xavier Worthy eight plays later. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Tranquill has totaled 38 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Tranquill finished with 10 tackles (seven solo), including a tackle for a loss, in the Chiefs' 17-10 win over the Chargers on Sunday. The starting weak-side linebacker also played on 87 percent of the defensive snaps. Tranquill has 24 tackles (15 solo) through four games this season.
Tranquill registered seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. Tranquill tied with Nick Bolton and Justin Reid for the most tackles on the Chiefs on Sunday. Tranquill played just 48 of the Chiefs' 64 defensive snaps, but the 2019 fourth-round pick remains a key piece to Kansas City's run defense. Tranquill will have his hands full against running back Bijan Robinson and the Falcons in Week 3.
Tranquill signed a three-year, $19 million contract with the Chiefs on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Tranquill joined Kansas City last offseason and stepped into a significant role in the defense -- particularly when either Nick Bolton or Willie Gay missed time. He'll now be locked into a long-term deal with the team and see the field plenty moving forward.
