For his first appearance on the field in a game, Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins didn’t seem to show any signs of being physically compromised by the foot injury that forced him to miss six regular-season games.
Watkins played 93 percent of the offensive plays (81 of 87 snaps) on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts, his first game since the Chiefs played the L.A. Rams on Monday Night Football on Nov. 19. Watkins, who’d missed the Chiefs’ previous game leading into the Rams game, played just five snaps against L.A.
“Being on the field was great, just giving those guys the energy and we all feeding off each other” Watkins said.
