Chiefs TE Jared Wiley suffered a knee injury in practice Friday. We will get an update from Andy Reid around 1 p.m. but my understanding is that it’s a significant injury.
Wiley is the second tight end Chiefs have lost this week after Jody Fortson torn his ACL vs Raiders.

He played in 17(24%) snaps against the Faid and 10 (14%) snaps against the 49ers. Those are offensive snaps btw. [Reply]
If Hopkins delivers, we won't need 3 TE sets anyways. Put in an eligible linemen at TE on the goal line if you want. But other than that, the offense SHOULDN'T miss a beat at all. Just sucks for him to get injured at practice as a rookie. [Reply]
The Chiefs purposefully let Jody move on to Miami this offseason. Brought in Wiley to be a replacement.
And yet they ended up signing Jody back and installing him as TE3 at the first opportunity after seeing Wiley for months in their practices.
Best wishes and all that, his story isn’t finished, but all signs before this injury pointed toward more of a Skyy Moore career outlook than a Noah Gray. Just my .02 and it’s probably not popular. [Reply]

Yeah.
4th round pick. Good idea. Looked promising. Sometimes those guys are late bloomers but sometimes they don’t work. It happens.
We all thought we had a future starting guard from that 5th round tackle we got in the Skyy trade down. Turns out no. Whatever. [Reply]

Crazy how coping mechanisms of the human mind work.
When we lose a player for the season - we come up with reasons why he wasn’t good.
When we draft a player - we come up with reasons why he’ll be great [Reply]
In addition to Jared Wiley's season-ending injury, the Chiefs have announced nothing but bad news on the injury front for Monday Night Football. ⬇️https://t.co/tT4SZqe4bP
