#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

Could be back for the end of the RS, granted you still need someone to step up.
We will see if it is the next man up. There has to be a limit tho? [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.
No he said depending on severity he could be back by playoffs so why you're putting a negative spin on it is weird. All fractures aren't one and the same hence why Adam Schefter also said they are looking at images to determine a timeframe. A minor fracture could see him return within 6-8 weeks. [Reply]

He said "late playoffs" in the post I saw, which if that's the case, you can't count on him to be as good as the other guys for a few weeks after return anyhow. [Reply]

Just stop being a negative spin artist fgs and let's wait until they get further confirmation. Dr Chao isn't dealing with Watson so what he says really doesn't matter :-) [Reply]
