Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Janarius Robinson sustained a fractured foot in Saturday's preseason loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the injury on Monday but did not provide a timeline for Robinson's return.

Likely in a related move, the Chiefs signed defensive end Nate Matlack ahead of Monday morning's practice.

Robinson, 26, sacked Cardinals quarterback Clayton Tune for a 9-yard loss in Saturday's 20-17 defeat in Glendale, Ariz.

A fourth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021, Robinson signed with the Chiefs in April. He played in 16 games (three starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders from 2023-24, recording 1.5 sacks and 13 tackles.

The Chiefs also lost safety Deon Bush to a torn Achilles on Saturday. Kansas City is also dealing with injuries to wide receiver Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown (ankle), cornerback Jaylen Watson (concussion protocol), offensive lineman Ethan Driskell (appendectomy) and tight end Jake Briningstool (hamstring).
