#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
Breaking: The #Chiefs are designating CB Jaylen Watson to return from IR, and he will practice today, sources tell @NFLonFOX. This is a huge boost for Kansas City, who has been without Watson since late October due to a broken fibula.
#Chiefs HC Andy Reid says there is a chance that Mecole Hardman and Jaylen Watson could return from injury for the playoffs, but says it's probably a stretch with Watson. No chance for Rashee Rice.

Head coach Andy Reid says there is a "chance" for WR Mecole Hardman to return for the playoffs. Reid said it's a bigger stretch for CB Jaylen Watson but isn't completely ruling it out.

Better quote to include Rice.

The fact that Andy has left the door open for Watson is good enough for me. If he had no chance Andy would have put his name with Rice and Skyy. It's really up to Jaylen now to make sure the rehab continues to trend upwards. [Reply]

I saw a video of him running at the practice facility earlier. [Reply]

I'd pump the brakes on that. For the part that he controls I believe he's doing everything he can. If he doesn't make it back it just is what it is. [Reply]

I won't be judging Jaylen harshly if he doesn't make it back. I'm just saying he just needs to keep doing what he's doing and hopefully we'll all get what we want which is for him to be cleared to return to action. [Reply]

Would you consider moving Joe Thuney to DB if DJ Humphries is healthy? [Reply]
