Gets knee surgery
Omenihu (knee) underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair his torn ACL, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Omenihu suffered the ACL tear in the Chiefs' AFC Championship Game win over the Ravens. He'll face a lengthy recovery from surgery, leaving his Week 1 status in doubt for the time being. Before sustaining the knee injury, Omenihu was a key rotational edge rusher for Kansas City, tallying 31 tackles, eight sacks, three forced fumbles and two passes defensed over 14 regular-season and playoff games.

Expected to play Sunday
Omenihu is still expected to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles despite his Monday arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that the 49ers plan to let the legal process play out with the rotational defensive lineman after the organization spent the last two days further investigating Monday's incident between Omenihu and his girlfriend. For its part, the NFL also confirmed Wednesday that there won't be any change to Omenihu's availability while the matter remains under review pursuant to the league's personal conduct policy. The 25-year-old, who was limited in Wednesday's practice with an oblique injury, is therefore in line to suit up versus Philadelphia if he's healthy.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The NFL suspended Omenihu for the first six games of the 2023 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy, so he'll be eligible to return to the field in Week 7 against the Chargers. The veteran defensive end signed a two-year deal, $16 million deal with the Chiefs this offseason after recording 4.5 sacks with the 49ers in 2022. When Omenihu returns, he figures to take on a significant role in the Chiefs' defensive-line rotation.
