It’s official. Marcus Kemp’s season is over before it got started. The Kansas City Chiefs announced the move to place him on injured reserve and followed it up with word on his replacement on the roster in wide receiver Jalen Tolliver.
Kemp went down earlier in the preseason in the team’s second game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Initially termed a knee sprain, head coach Andy Reid stated the injury designation was temporary as they waited on Kemp to get an MRI. The hope was that the injury wasn’t as severe as initially feared, but unfortunately those worries were on point.
