Turning 26 later this month, Omenihu inked a two-year, $16 million deal with the Chiefs in free agency. He recorded 4.5 sacks as a sub-package pass rusher last season and will be eligible to return to the Chiefs in Week 7 against the Chargers.

Sitting out practice
Omenihu (calf) did not practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Omenihu's injury details are unclear, but he'll remain sidelined until he's fully healed. The 25-year-old is poised to take on a significant role in the Chiefs' defensive-line rotation, but he'll now need to focus on his recovery so that he can return to the field.
Heading to Kansas City
Omenihu is set to sign a two-year, $20 million max value deal with the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Omenihu lands in Kansas City and will provide depth along the Chiefs' defensive line next season. The 25-year-old defensive end finished the 49ers' 2022 regular season with 20 tackles (seven solo), 4.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble. Omenihu is a versatile pass rusher who could make an impact if he is able to see increased playing time in his new home.
Cleared for Sunday
Omenihu (oblique) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles, Eric Williams of FoxSports.com reports.
Omenihu played 16 snaps in the 49ers' divisional-round win over Dallas but picked up an oblique injury during the contest that caused him to be a limited participant during Wednesday's and Thursday's practices. However, he logged a full session Friday and has been cleared for game action. The 49ers said Omenihu, who was arrested Monday at his home in San Jose on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence, has stayed with the team since posting bail and will be available as long as the legal process plays out, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Arrested Monday
Omenihu (oblique) was arrested Monday at his home in San Jose on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence, Robert Salonga of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
He was booked into Santa Clara County jail after police were called to his home, where a woman claiming to be the 25-year-old defensive end's girlfriend told the arriving officers that she was pushed to the ground during an argument. Omenihu was released from jail after posting bail, and the 49ers confirmed in a statement Tuesday that they were aware of the incident and still in the process of gathering further information on the matter. Omenihu, who played 16 snaps in Sunday's win over the Cowboys in the divisional round, picked up an oblique injury during the contest and is uncertain to be available for this weekend's NFC Championship Game in Philadelphia.
Dealing with oblique injury
Omenihu is considered day-to-day with an oblique injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Omenihu didn't record any counting stats across 16 snaps (15 defensive) during the 49ers' divisional-round win over Dallas, and he appears to have suffered an oblique injury during the contest as well. His participation at practice Wednesday through Friday may provide further clarity on his availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles.
