The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in just under two weeks, and although there is plenty of time for players to heal up for the big game, it's never too early to check the latest injury reports and updates. Our Super Bowl 58 injury reports as of Tuesday, January 30 will give you the latest news on the top banged-up players leading up to Super Bowl LVIII, including George Kittle, Kadarius Toney, and Charles Omenihu.

George Kittle Injury Update
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) is dealing with a toe issue and will be considered day-to-day as Super Bowl LVIII approaches in two weeks, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle was on the field often in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship, but he apparently picked up a toe injury and disappointed fantasy managers with just two catches on three targets for 27 yards despite the Niners coming from behind to put up 34 points.
The 30-year-old has plenty of time to rest his toe before the Super Bowl in Vegas, but we'll keep a close eye on his practice status. It would be a huge surprise if Kittle didn't suit up on Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 11, and he should be more involved in the passing game against a tough Chiefs defense.
Kadarius Toney Injury Update
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip), who has missed the team's last six games, will practice in the next two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. Toney was ruled out of Sunday's AFC Championship win over the Baltimore Ravens and apparently posted an audio recording on social media on Sunday morning, claiming that he's "not hurt" and that the Chiefs have mismanaged their injury designations.
The former first-rounder practiced in full last Wednesday before being limited on Thursday and Friday but was inactive on Sunday, the day of his daughter's birth. Toney had a glaring drop in Week 15 and has played in just one game since lining up offsides on the memorable play that took a potential game-winning touchdown away from KC in their Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Charles Omenihu Injury Update
Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu (knee) was optimistic on Sunday night about the knee injury he suffered in the win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship, but an MRI exam revealed that he did tear his ACL, according to a source. Omenihu has been a big part of the Chiefs' strong defense this year, so it will be a big loss for that unit in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers in two weeks.
The 26-year-old was injured in the second quarter on Sunday. With Omenihu unavailable for the big game against San Fran, rookie first-round pass-rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah will see more snaps on the defensive line. Omenihu, who most likely won't be ready for the start of the 2024 season now, had 28 tackles (18 solo), a career-high seven sacks, and two forced fumbles in 11 regular season games in his first year in KC.
