There’s no good time for an ankle sprain, but for Armani Watts, it’s putting the rookie safety behind the competition for a wide open starting spot in the Kansas City Chiefs’ secondary.
Watts has been out of practice almost since the moment that the Chiefs rookie first arrived at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri with an ankle injury that required attention from the trainers and ended up with him in the locker room. As we get to the end of the first week of training camp, Watts is still sitting out of practice, a week removed from the competition on the field as Chiefs coaches sift and sort the final positions heading into the regular season.
