#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.

I bet he's starting at least to be the starter. Remember how hard they were pushing guys in camp saying no ones stepping up ect? They may well do the same thing. Look Williams this guy with a broken fucking ankle took your job. Get the fuck in the film room and take it up a notch. [Reply]
The Chiefs blowtorch their way through this postseason, with every game a win that looks like their divisional round games (when Patrick Mahomes did not get injured mid-game).
And people talk about how this team that looked get-able at times during the regular season suddenly turned on the switch at the end, and wow what a job! Who could have seen postseason dominance coming when the regular season was so ... meh?
But really it's about getting healthy on defense (Omenihu back, Reid healthy, Watson returning from the broken leg) and improving in the downtime without its missing pieces, and getting healthy on offense (Humphries added, Brown healthy and back and unleashed in the role they envisioned for him from the start, plus Hopkins off the snap count leash, plus Kelce giving max effort because it's playoff time).
It's a fun dream. Would be a slam-dunk cool way for KC to close out a 3-peat situation and stake a claim for "best ever." [Reply]

I can't see buzz-sawing Baltimore.
I just don't know how you do it. I mean if Jackson vapor-locks again, that's one thing, but if he's playing well, that game is going to be damn tough one.
Our physicality in the back-end provides us an edge that most teams don't have -- we can protect against Henry without having to sell out. But with Andrews seemingly figuring things out over the last half of the season, they have the ability to work in the areas we're weakest.
I can see us beating up Buffalo and the NFC representative but if Baltimore comes through Orchard Park, they're going to be a really tough out.
And if they AREN'T....lordy, you're not wrong. Combine that with the 'toughest SB run in NFL history' last season and you just slam the door shut on the greatest stretch in NFL history. A 3-peat, 4 championships in 6 years (5 conference championships), 8 straight Championship Game appearances, a streak both with dominance and degree of difficulty.
The argument is over. The only thing you could do at that point is stretch it out and stick with "well we'll see if they can do it for as long as NE..."
But over a single period of time, nobody will have every even approached what KC has on their racket right now. [Reply]
