Watkins also has a torn hamstring. No idea how bad but he will miss time. Chiefs HC Andy Reid on potential replacements for Kelechi Osemele, Sammy Watkins Charles Goldman 34 seconds ago ADVERTISEMENT The Kansas City Chiefs have two players who suffered injuries Sunday afternoon who are expected to miss time. Starting LG Kelechi Osemele is certain to be missing time after suffering tendon tears in both of his knees. His season is likely over and he has a long road to recovery. As for WR Sammy Watkins, things are a bit more up in the air. Andy Reid said he “tore his hamstring” following the Week 5 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. It’s not yet clear the severity of his tear as he’ll be evaluated later today. It is possible that this is a minor tear, which wouldn’t keep him out for a long time or require surgery. “Sammy’s a good player,” Chiefs HC Andy Reid said on Monday. “We’ll see how he does here. The guys are just coming in now. We’ll see how it looks, but if Sammy can’t play, we’ve done that throughout last year for a few games and the year before that. So we put the next man up and go. I’m not going to take away from how good of a player he is. He’s a terrific player, but we also have some other guys who can play too.” The offense tends to play better with Watkins on the field. They’ve averaged more points per game and total yards per game over the past two seasons when he’s in the game. “He plays a little bit of the low post for you,” Reid continued. “He does a good job with that. He’s strong. But again, we can work around that and we’ve got other guys who can step in and fill those types of roles.” One of those guys is second-year WR Mecole Hardman. There were some lofty expectations for Hardman to start the 2020 season and he hasn’t quite met them. Through five games, Hardman has just 13 receptions on 17 targets for 194 yards and two touchdowns. “Mecole (Hardman) just needs to keep growing and keep working,” Reid said of the second-year wideout. “He got a few reps yesterday and so that’s a step forward for him. We’ll see how he does as we go forward here.” Shifting back to the Osemele injury, one player that has been somewhat forgotten is Martinas Rankin. Rankin is currently on the PUP list after suffering a knee injury in 2019. During the 2019 season, he started five games at left guard for the Chiefs and played very well. Rankin is eligible to return from the PUP list beginning in Week 7, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll be making an immediate return. “Yeah, so Rank (Martinas Rankin) has done a good job of working to get back,” Reid said. “He’s not quite there yet but he’s working at it.” They’ll likely ease Rankin back into the swing of things when he does begin practicing. Another option brought up to Reid was second-year OL Nick Allegretti, but it doesn’t seem he’ll be getting an opportunity to start just yet. “(Nick) Allegretti, he’s been in kind of that swing position,” Reid said. “Kind of covering the bases at both the guard and at center. He’ll still be in that position. (Mike) Remmers would be the one that steps in right now.” Reid did note that Allegretti would play that swing guard position with Remmers being inserted into the starting lineup. The Chiefs don’t intend to go away from Remmers after he filled in during Week 5. He’s your new starter at that spot for the time being until something changes. Right now, the Chiefs feel like they have the depth and options to overcome these injuries, short term and long term. They’ll stick with the “Next Man Up” mentality so long as it remains sustainable to do so. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/12/kansas-city-chiefs-andy-reid-talks-injured-player-replacements-martinas-rankin-mike-remmers-mecole-hardman/

We need a center and since Reiter is a FA? We may as well sign one and let him go. Drafting one might take to long and having a center in there that has the experience and fits our system would be a huge plus. Centers hitting FA next year. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/center/

Dont forget the reeses pieces!

But Mahomes lost a game by more than 7 points first time in 49 games......

Be nice to run against teams if our line could block for it. 4 line fronts we should be getting more production from our tries and ypc too.

https://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-city-chiefs/post/_/id/28921/patrick-mahomes-chiefs-cant-overcome-prolonged-dry-spell-this-time Adam TeicherESPN Staff Writer KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- For the third time in four weeks, the offense of the Kansas City Chiefs looked out of sorts for a large chunk of the game, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes being pressured and his receivers unable to get consistent separation from coverage. The difference on Sunday, was that the prolonged dry spell cost the Chiefs a victory. ADVERTISEMENT "It caught up with us today," Mahomes said after a 40-32 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. "We've got to go back and really look at ourselves in the mirror ... and not rely on these crazy plays where I'm scrambling around and throwing these shots and just execute the offense the way that it's called and run the way it's supposed to be run. If we do that, we'll be a hard team to stop."

But they lost the game during the third quarter and first half of the fourth, when the Raiders scored 16 points and the Chiefs were shut out. The Chiefs managed a touchdown in the final four minutes to make things interesting, but it wasn't enough. The scoreless spell mirrored similar unproductive stretches for the offense against the Chargers and Patriots. As he was in those games, Mahomes was often under pressure without the opponent having to blitz and receivers had trouble getting open. Las Vegas blitzed only three times, or on 6% of Mahomes' dropbacks (Mahomes went 3-for-3 for 85 yards on those plays). That's the second-lowest blitz rate he has faced in his career. Still, the Raiders got pressure on Mahomes 28 times in 48 dropbacks (57%) -- the second-highest pressure rate of Mahomes' career. If the Chiefs don't protect better against three or four pass-rushers or don't get open quicker against seven or eight defenders in coverage, their offensive struggles might continue. The Raiders got pressure on Patrick Mahomes 28 times in 48 dropbacks and they did it without having to blitz. AP Photo/Charlie Riedel "We had one bad quarter, but when you're playing a team that's hot like they were, one bad quarter loses you a football game," Mahomes said. The Chiefs lost two touchdowns to penalties. They recovered one of the drives to kick a field goal but punted on the other. Those lost 11 points would have been useful in an eight-point defeat. They also had a 10-yard holding penalty on first down on two first half drives and wound up punting. "Anytime you're going backwards, holding calls and things of that nature, it doesn't really give the offense a chance to succeed," tackle Mitchell Schwartz said. "Against a good team especially, you can't have negative plays ... the percentages of touchdown drives especially plummet when you give up a sack or you give up a penalty. "It definitely has to be better. We know that and coming out that's probably going to be the biggest thing that we work on." The Chiefs have been good at overcoming those types of setbacks but weren't on Sunday. "In this league, when you're in first-and-20, second-and-20, it's hard to get first downs," Mahomes said. "We've been spoiled that we've kind of done it well these last few years but you don't want to be in those positions."

Torn ligs in both knees. Injury last year. He will be 33 or 34 and being big just might not be healthy for his knees.

I bet Osemele retires

Sorensen fucked up the long td pass. He had single high and bit coming forward. He had a few plays like this. I think even the 3rd and 18 was on him too. He does not need to be in there for this. Let Thornhill be back there and bring up HB or Sorensen for run support. We really need to invest in a G and C. These teams are all playing off what they see is slowing us down and it caught up to us. Time to adjust now for us.

Sorensen bit hard on that one

Refs will call it against us though. Watkins hurting again, go figure.

It's a catch but they will fuck us to keep it close

Knowing balto there is no sarcasm meter.

Balto put down the pipe! 0-5?

Ironic that if the Black man, Pat Mahomes had not married a white woman, we would have not Patrick Mahomes.

https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2020/10/08/kansas-city-chiefs-buffalo-bills-thursday-night-football-game-could-be-postponed-per-report/ The Kansas City Chiefs could have two games delayed as a result of COVID-19 before we get through the first half of the season. After another player for the Tennessee Titans tested positive for COVID-19, the NFL is scrambling to try and find a way for the Titans and Buffalo Bills to play their Week 5 game. According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, one option that has been relayed to both Bills and Titans players is that their Week 5 game, scheduled for Sunday, would be moved to Monday or Tuesday night. As a result of that delay, the Week 6 “Thursday Night Football” game between the Chiefs and the Bills would be moved to Saturday. Right now, all options are on the table for the NFL and it seems like moving the Chiefs vs. Bills game might be the most logical choice. The Titans don’t have any remaining bye weeks after the postponement of last week’s game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. What’s abundantly clear is that the NFL is intent on having Tennessee and Buffalo play their Week 5 game. That determination by the league is good for Kansas City too. If the Week 5 game between the Bills and Titans were canceled, they’d see the Bills off a bye week on Thursday night, playing three games in 11 days. Obviously, the NFL still is at the will of the virus on this one. They need the Titans to have consecutive days without positive test results before they’re allowed to reopen their facilities for practice. The key here will be to monitor the test results for Tennessee over the next two days.

Kelce was older when he came in and missed his first year too. Be hard to get thise numbers but he may get the numbers for all time chiefs and only for being a Chiefs player.

Because he sucks that bad. Geez.... /s

42 to 17 Chiefs.

I put my chiefs jersey on middle of 3rd quarter. Have worn it every game since last years win streak and yet to be washed until we lose a game. Thank god I only use it for games and at my house too.

Fucking butker with his usual PAT miss

Put Remmers back in. Fucking O line needs blockers who can run block

WTF is up with Seal-Jones? Man for a guy on a try one he is about done. Chiefs inactive players: DT Chris Jones, LB Darius Harris, TE Ricky Seals-Jones, DE Demone Harris, OL Yasir Durant Adam Teicher, ESPN Staff Writer13m ago

I remember him because of his wife.

If they played on Sunday it would be 3 games in 12 days staring on Sunday. So they play 1 say later making it 3 in 11 days. They get another day of rest and are still at home for the next game. We will be fine. I am seeing Monday lately if all is good for tomorrow on testing. So Monday and Sunday ar home. Then Thursday at Bills.
