The Chiefs signed Kohou on Thursday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Kohou missed the entirety of the 2025 campaign after suffering a partially torn ACL during training camp last summer. He was medically cleared for all football activities earlier this month and should have a relatively normal offseason. The Chiefs badly needed the cornerback help after losing both Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson to the Rams this week.
Kohou's agents deemed him fully cleared medically Monday from the partially torn ACL he suffered late last July, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Kohou missed all of last season due to the injury, which took place during training camp. Prior to getting hurt, Kohou was slated to work as the Dolphins' starting slot cornerback. He's now set to be an unrestricted free agent, so being declared fully healthy should boost his appeal to teams interested in his services.
The Dolphins placed Kohou (knee) on injured reserve Friday. Kohou suffered a torn ACL in practice last weekend and will miss the 2025 campaign. Expected to cover the slot for the Dolphins, Kohou was the last remaining piece of the 2024 secondary in Miami. The Dolphins are now trying to speed up the learning curve of newcomers Jack Jones and Mike Hilton.
