2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tranquill tallied the second-highest tackle total of his career in 2024, with 94 stops (54 total), including 2.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games. He also had two pass breakups and two fumble recoveries, with his tackle total ranking second on the Chiefs behind only Nick Bolton (106). Tranquill was more productive during the playoffs, though, with 25 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, plus one forced fumble in three postseason contests. He's locked in as a starter in Kansas City's linebacker corps and boasts the three-down skill set to flirt with triple-digit tackles if healthy for all 17 games. Read Past Outlooks

Nursing back injury
Tranquill did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice due to a back injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tranquill appeared to strain his back during team drills Friday. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the Chiefs could play it conservatively by keeping Tranquill out of practices this week and have him sidelined for the team's preseason opener against the Cardinals on Aug. 9. His absence would open the door for Jack Cochrane and Brandon George to get more reps at linebacker with the first-team defense alongside Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal.
