#Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson, one of their emerging young players on defense, suffered a fractured ankle in Sunday’s win over the #49ers, sources say.
He’ll have more imaging done today to determine if a return this season is possible. But tough reality for an up-and-coming corner. pic.twitter.com/86J6M58zqm
Where is Ekoe Boye Doe ? Poach him for some depth. That dude has some talent and surprised me he was cut so quickly.
Just did a search he is back in his home country Ghana. Just strange he was on the active SB roster to waived the next year. He reminded me a little of Sauce Gardner. [Reply]
Realistically they're gonna take Josh Williams, who has started games and played in Super Bowls, and insert him into the lineup while they find someone else to replace him on teams. It's a no brainer.
And the opportunity you know he's been waiting for. [Reply]

Vikings got Stephon Gilmore pretty cheap.
He’s been fine from what I’ve seen. I always think he’s about to fall off a cliff, but he never does. [Reply]

Super bummed for the kid, hope he can come back next year and earn a nice payday from some team in 2026.
It's next man up. Truly no better position group that we are better at developing. Just please, enough of these season-enders.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if this isn't fractures that occurred as part of a high-ankle sprain.
Now that said, Cook's injury happened in week 13. Had it happened in say week 9, we may have gotten him back by the post-season.
If we have a long playoff run, we probably get him back. It's still awfully early in the season.
But man, we seem to take a bullet every week. And none of them are short term. It's pretty brutal.
Losing Eric Fisher wasn't the end of the world for us during that playoff run. But eventually we took one more bullet than the team could reasonably withstand. The cascade effect of these injuries is going to continue to pile up on us.
I know we're sitting at 6-0 but it still feels to me like we're going to have to hustle to stay above 12-5 (what a strange bar that 12-5 would feel disappointing). There's gonna be some pain coming. [Reply]

He didn't forget how to play. And he's been healthy. CB play is just notoriously erratic apart from the very top of the heap guys. So someone like Williams is going to have tough games and when someone else plays better than him, it's going to be hard for him to prove his worth and get that spot back.
But now that the Watson hurdle has been removed, there's no reason to think Williams CAN'T step up and be solid.

It's what they do.
Now stop dooming.
Like I said, it's the cascade effect. We're already insanely thin at WR. We're getting thinner at DB. We just cannot continue to take these long-term injuries to starters. [Reply]

Man....I dunno. I know the offense has taken some arrows, but it also feels like it's just on the edge of just breaking out.
Get that going and ....I just don't see how it's not 14/15 wins. [Reply]
