Impact Niemann made two solo tackles during Sunday's victory, but he was unable to finish the game due to a concussion. He has made great progress and cleared protocols, but his status for Week 5 is still up in the air. Niemann has played a prominent role for Kansas City's defense with Willie Gay (toe) on injured reserve, so his absence against the Bills' high-powered offense would be a big loss.
