James Winchester's absence leaves void in Chiefs' locker room

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – James Winchester had perhaps his finest moment as an NFL player on Sunday when he was the snapper on the 37-yard field goal by Cairo Santos as time expired, a play that gave the Kansas City Chiefs a 20-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.

The moment was special enough to Winchester that he tweeted about it afterward.

GAME WINNER!! Proud to be a part of this team #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/ODuEntMuVB

Winchester wasn’t with the Chiefs on Wednesday as they began preparations for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium.
