Kansas City Chiefs third-year offensive tackle Lucas Niang is expected to make his return from the Reserve/PUP list this week.
Niang suffered a knee injury in Week 17 of the 2021 NFL season and has been working his way back ever since. He was designated to return to practice on Nov. 2, opening up a 21-day window for the team to opt to activate him to the 53-man roster. That window expires on Wednesday, Nov. 23 and at that time Kansas City will need to make a decision. They can choose to activate him or place him on season-ending injured reserve.
