News

  • Placed on IR

    The Chiefs placed Watson (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Watson fractured his ankle during Sunday's win over the 49ers, an injury that will keep him out for the rest of the 2024 regular season, though he could be available to come back off IR if the Chiefs make a deep playoff run, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. With Watson sidelined, Nazeeh Johnson should have the inside track on Joshua Williams for the second starting corner job opposite Trent McDuffie, though the Chiefs signed Keith Taylor on Tuesday to bring in some additional depth and…read more

  • Done for regular season, at least

    Watson (lower leg) is slated to undergo surgery in the coming days to repair a fractured left fibula-tibia and will miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Watson has a chance to return to the field should the Chiefs still be in contention late in the playoffs, but his recovery timetable may also sideline him longer than January or February. The third-year pro had been essentially an every-down player at outside cornerback for Kansas City, so his absence will afford Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams additional starting reps at outside cornerback. Expect Watson to be officially placed on IR in the near future.

  • Suffers signifcant injury

    Watson suffered a fractured ankle in Sunday's win over the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Watson was spotted with crutches and a cast after the victory, so the news isn't exactly surprising. The Washington State product will undergo further imagining Monday to determine the severity of the fracture and whether or not he may be able to return at some point later this season. Watson's likely absence in the weeks ahead will leave the Chiefs without one of their starting corners and afford increased opportunity for Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams.

  • On crutches

    Watson (ankle) was on crutches and wearing a cast after Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered the injury during the game after making three tackles (two solo). Watson has 32 tackles (21 solo) and six passes defensed this season. Joshua Williams and Nazeeh Johnson should see more action if Watson is forced to miss time.

  • Done for day

    Watson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Watson's day is officially done after he suffered an ankle injury in the second half versus San Francisco. Moving forward, if Watson is unavailable, Joshua Williams and Nazeeh Johnson will see added work in the secondary with Kansas City.

  • Exits early Sunday

    Watson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Watson sustained the ankle injury in the second half versus San Francisco and if he can't return, the cornerback will finish his day with three total tackles (one solo). In Watson's absence, Joshua Williams and Nazeeh Johnson are candidates to step into larger roles in the secondary.

  • Leads team in tackles Week 1

    Watson notched 11 tackles (seven solo) and one pass defensed during Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens.

    Analysis: Watson played 96 percent of defensive snaps versus the Ravens on Thursday, effectively starting over Joshua Williams. If Watson has truly earned the starting job across from Trent McDuffie at cornerback, as is reflected on Kansas City's depth chart for Week 1, he'll warrant consideration in IDP formats heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Bengals. It's possible, though, that Williams is simply being eased back into action after having missed much of the preseason due to a hamstring issue.

  • Comes off PUP list

    The Chiefs activated Jones (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Jones could still be nursing the undisclosed injury that landed him on Kansas City's active/PUP list earlier in July, but he was able to return to practice Wednesday. The 2022 seventh-round pick out of Washington State will likely be competing for a rotational spot in the Chiefs' secondary now that he's back on the field.

  • Placed on PUP list

    The Chiefs placed Watson on the active/PUP list Wednesday with an undisclosed injury.

    Analysis: He'll be eligible to come off the PUP list at any time during training camp or the preseason, once the Chiefs deem him healthy enough to practice. The 2022 seventh-round draft pick was a rotational contributor in the Kansas City secondary last season, but he now appears primed for a more pivotal role in 2024 following the departure of L'Jarius Sneed.

  • Active Sunday

    Watson (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Watson was added to the injury report Friday, but he'll still suit up for the divisional matchup. The second-year cornerback should handle his usual rotational role Sunday. Over his past four appearances, Watson has totaled eight tackles and two pass defenses while playing around 50 percent of Kansas City's defensive snaps.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Watson (thigh) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: The second-year corner out of Washington State popped up on Kansas City's injury report Friday with a thigh issue. Watson was held to limited participation in Friday's practice and is now listed as questionable this Sunday. If the 25-year-old is unable to go this weekend, Nic Jones will likely see more snaps in the Chiefs' secondary.

  • On pace to play Sunday

    Watson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Watson was able to practice in full Thursday and figures to be ready to go for Week 5. He should settle back into a depth role in Kansas City's defensive backfield Sunday at Minnesota.

  • Won't play against New York

    Watson (shoulder) is inactive for Kansas City's matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

    Analysis: Watson has seen just a limited role through the first three games of the season and will now miss the team's upcoming matchup against New York. Joshua Williams and Nic Jones could see increased playing time with the 25-year-old not suiting up.

  • Makes case as rookie

    Watson compiled 49 tackles (37 solo), and an interception for a touchdown during the 2022 regular season.

    Analysis: As a seventh-round pick, Watson exceeded expectations as a rookie, claiming a regular role with 568 snaps. While he likely needed to prove his worth in training camp in 2022, he should enter 2023 on firm footing regarding his roster spot. However, from a fantasy perspective, Watson only figures to factor into dynasty formats with deep IDP options.

  • Long pick-six in win

    Watson recorded four tackles (three solo) and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown, during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: After the Chiefs tied the game 17-17, the Chargers offense moved the ball efficiently and methodically down the field to the three-yard line. Gerald Everett set Los Angeles up with a 26-yard catch-and-run, but he appeared to ask out after getting tackled near the goal line. However, Justin Herbert opted to go hurry-up and went right back to Everett, who wasn't ready for the pass. Watson jumped the route and took the interception back 99 yards to give Kansas City its first lead of the game. The…read more
