Kansas City Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins has been hobbled for weeks having injured his foot in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Cleveland Browns. Watkins tried to play through the injury in the next three games including Week 11’s Game of the Year© against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football in which he played just five snaps. Even into this week at practice, Watkins attempted to push through it until he was shut down by the Chiefs’ coaching staff.
So with the playoffs looming, they’ve decided to shut him down for the next 4-6 weeks.
