Chiefs' Season Hit by Injuries: Rookie TE Jared Wiley Tears ACL

Kansas City Chiefs face a challenging roster situation as two tight ends suffer season-ending injuries in the same week.

  • Rookie tight end Jared Wiley suffered a torn ACL during a non-contact practice drill, ending his season prematurely.
  • This marks the second significant injury for the Chiefs' tight ends this week, following Jody Fortson's knee injury against the Raiders.
  • Peyton Hendershot, previously acquired from the Cowboys, will be elevated from the practice squad to fill the gap left by Wiley.
  • The Chiefs are also dealing with other injuries, including wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who is out with a hamstring issue.
  • Despite the injuries, the Chiefs remain undefeated at 7-0 and are favored to win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their upcoming game.
