Going into the season, it’s likely that not a whole lot of Kansas City Chiefs fans would have guessed that after five weeks, wide receiver Justin Watson would be leading his position group in receiving yards. But going into last Thursday’s Week 6 game against the Denver Broncos, that’s exactly the position Watson held.
In the game’s fourth quarter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw him a deep pass that was just a little too long, bouncing right off Watson’s fingertips. But as he went down after laying out for the ball, the wide receiver was in obvious pain from what appeared to be a significant injury to his left elbow.
