Star defensive lineman Chris Jones will not travel with his Kansas City Chiefs teammates to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
Instead, Jones is set to make the voyage to Atlanta on his own, due to what the Chiefs are describing as a "personal" matter.
Jones' decision to travel alone is not said to be injury-related, and Kansas City did not update his official game status designation for the Chiefs' Week 10 tilt with the Falcons.
Take a look at Kansas City's full update on Jones, which was shared in a post to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account on November 14:
Kenneth Walker (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Chris Jones (NIR - Personal) will not travel with the team and will arrive on his own to Atlanta.
He has no game designation.

This isn't the first time that one of Kansas City's players has decided to travel alone during the 2026 regular season. Defensive back L'Jarius Sneed made unique arrangements for his journey to face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Week 7, so this strange development isn't totally unprecedented.
