#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
Same thing I would tell Lions fans pining for Aidan Hutchinson to return in the Super Bowl - if your team makes it that far without him, adding a lesser version of the player into the lineup isn't gonna be necessary at that point.
Jaylen today hinted on twitter that he's not out for the rest of the season. He's since deleted it but if we can get him back early January that would be epic. [Reply]
I refuse to believe this. I think he’ll be back in January
From my understanding, Jaylen Watson is not expected back this season with his injury. Or a different way of saying it: It would be a surprise if he plays again this year.

Wish in one hand and poop in another and see which one fills up first. [Reply]
The #Vikings are waiving CB Akayleb Evans, per me and @MikeGarafolo, a bit of a surprise for the 2022 draft pick who has 17 starts and plays special teams.

Hmm, doesn't look real good according to the advanced defense table: 120 passer rating and 70% completion, allowing 6 TDs last year while starting 15 games, hasn't started any games this year. :-)

Well he's 25 years old, 6'2 and ran a 4:46. He also appears to do well in cover 2, cover 3 and quarters coverage schemes.
Bottom line is did Veach and Spags rate him highly in the draft? And Is he a scheme fit? He might have had ups and downs with the Vikings but we all know our coach's history when it comes to corners. And Watson had a bad year last year but looked great this year so who knows what could happen with this guy?
Fact is we've got Johnson and Taylor on this roster. So if he's better than those two you grab him. Veach openly admitted that he tried to get Lattimore so he's not blind. [Reply]
