18 Oct
Summary
- Tyquan Thornton faces season-ending dislocated ankle.
- Rashee Rice out Sunday with hamstring injury.
- Justin Watson and Andrew Armstrong elevated from practice squad.
The Kansas City Chiefs are navigating significant injuries within their wide receiver group. Tyquan Thornton has suffered a dislocated ankle, likely ending his season. Adding to the concerns, Rashee Rice sustained a hamstring injury during Week 4 and will miss the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
In response, the Chiefs have elevated wide receiver Justin Watson from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster. Watson, who previously played for the Chiefs from 2022-2024 and was part of their back-to-back Super Bowl victories, brings valuable experience and knowledge of the offensive system.
Furthermore, the Chiefs are also adding wide receiver Andrew Armstrong to the active roster from the practice squad. Armstrong impressed during offseason workouts and training camp. These additions bring the total number of available receivers for Sunday's game to six, ensuring depth despite the current absences.
