u/alex • 3m

Why it matters: The absence of key players like Smith-Schuster and Watson can significantly impact the Chiefs' performance and game strategy.

What's new: Smith-Schuster aggravated his hamstring injury during Sunday's game, while Watson suffered a fractured ankle, potentially sidelining him for the rest of the season.

Smith-Schuster initially injured his hamstring in practice on Thursday.
He has recorded nine catches for 147 yards and a touchdown in six games this season.
Watson has six passes defensed and 32 tackles through six starts this season.

Yes, but: Despite these injuries, the Chiefs still boast a strong roster and have achieved an undefeated record of 6-0 thus far.

What to watch: The Chiefs will face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) in their upcoming game, and their ability to adjust and compensate for the absence of Smith-Schuster and Watson will be crucial.

What's next: The Chiefs will likely rely on their depth chart and reserve players to fill the gaps left by Smith-Schuster and Watson.

The bottom line: Injuries are an unfortunate reality in football, and the Chiefs must adapt and perform at a high level to maintain their winning streak.
