Paces pass catchers in win Watkins brought in seven of nine targets for 82 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for three yards in the Chiefs' 34-20 win over the Texans on Thursday.

Impact There must be something about season openers that brings out the best in the veteran receiver, as Watkins led the potent Chiefs pass-catching corps in Week 1 for the second consecutive year. The veteran wideout famously exploded for a 9-198-3 line against the Jaguars in last season's first contest, and although Thursday's totals were nowhere near as prolific, Watkins still set the pace for Kansas City in receptions, receiving yards, yards per catch and targets for the night. Watkins will look to carry over his momentum into a Week 2 divisional road showdown against the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Returns to limited practice Watkins (groin) was present for Friday's practice, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Watkins, who had been nursing what coach Andy Reid referred to as a "slight" groin strain, returned to work on a limited basis Friday, but his participation, in any capacity, is nonetheless good news for the team's pass-catching corps, with top option Tyreek Hill day-to-day with a hamstring injury.

Tending to groin strain Watkins didn't practice Sunday due to a strained groin, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Andy Reid called the strain "slight," but the news isn't encouraging for the oft-injured Watkins. Through six NFL seasons, Watkins has played a full slate of games just one time while missing an average of 3.3 contests per campaign. At least the current injury is hindering the 27-year-old wide receiver during training camp and not the regular season, leaving him plenty of time to get healthy for Week 1.
