While the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to 6-0 after a 28-18 win against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7, the victory came with another significant injury. In the fourth quarter, cornerback Jaylen Watson left the game with a fractured ankle. The injury requires surgery, sidelining the third-year cornerback for the foreseeable future.
It’s a big hit to a Kansas City defense that has looked as well-rounded as any this season. Watson has been in for over 90% of the team’s defensive snaps this season, breaking up four passes and not allowing a single touchdown, per PFF.
