Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Charles Omenihu tore his ACL during Sunday's AFC Championship Game vs. the Baltimore Ravens.

He suffered the injury late in the first half and was ruled out for the rest of the game during the third quarter.

Omenihu forced a fumble while sacking Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson earlier in the game, with George Karlaftis recovering the ball.

The five-year veteran has been a force on the Chiefs defensive line this season with 28 total tackles, seven sacks, and two forced fumbles in eleven games.

This was Omenihu's first season in Kansas City after playing last season for the San Francisco 49ers, the team the Chiefs will play in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11.
