KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NEWS

Jaylen Watson - Done for regular season, at least Watson (lower leg) is slated to undergo surgery in the coming days to repair a fractured left fibula-tibia and will miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season, Jeremy Fowler of...

Impact Watson has a chance to return to the field should the Chiefs still be in contention late in the playoffs, but his recovery timetable may also sideline him longer than January or February. The third-year pro had been essentially an every-down player at outside cornerback for Kansas City, so his absence will afford Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams additional starting reps at outside cornerback. Expect Watson to be officially placed on IR in the near future.

Chiefs lose CB Jaylen Watson, WR JuJu Smith-Schuster yet just keep winning as injuries pile up

The Kansas City Chiefs just keep winning, even as the injuries pile up

OCTOBER 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Won't play Week 8 Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Monday that Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't be available Week 8 versus the Raiders, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Smith-Schuster was forced out of Sunday's win over the 49ers after playing just seven offensive snaps, and before logging a single target. The veteran wideout appeared to aggravate the hamstring injury he'd dealt with in practice Thursday and Friday, leading up to the contest against San Francisco. That will leave Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore as Patrick Mahomes' top wideouts versus Las Vegas, with Smith-Schuster's next chance to play coming Week 9 at home against the Buccaneers.

Jaylen Watson - Suffers signifcant injury Watson suffered a fractured ankle in Sunday's win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Watson was spotted with crutches and a cast after the victory, so the news isn't exactly surprising. The Washington State product will undergo further imagining Monday to determine the severity of the fracture and whether or not he may be able to return at some point later this season. Watson's likely absence in the weeks ahead will leave the Chiefs without one of their starting corners, and increased opportunities for Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams.

Harrison Butker - No field goals in win Butker made all four of his extra-point tries but did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 28-18 win at San Francisco.

Impact Sunday's game was the Chiefs' first this season in which they did not attempt a field goal. Butker has been solid on the chances he has gotten thus far this year though, and he'll be kicking indoors in Week 8 at Las Vegas.

Noah Gray - Leading receiver on four targets Gray brought in all four of his targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

Impact Gray finished as the Chiefs' leading receiver in a odd game that featured no passing touchdowns from either side. San Francisco keyed its defensive focus on limiting star tight end Travis Kelce (4-17-0), allowing the 25-year-old Gray to operate freely for his highest receiving total of the season. Fantasy managers should consider this a high-water mark for Gray so long as Kelce remains healthy, which the latter should be for next Sunday's tilt against the Raiders.
