Chiefs Are in Big Trouble After Ruling Out Number of Key Players for Thursday's Game vs Broncos
By Michael Luciano
After losing two straight games at home, the Kansas City Chiefs are now staring a primetime matchup with a red-hot division rival square in the face.
As Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs prepare for Thursday Night Football against the Denver Broncos, winners of two straight, they will be without starters at left tackle, defensive tackle, cornerback and wide receiver.
Chiefs ruled out Sammy Watkins, Kendall Fuller, Eric Fisher, Chris Jones and Andrew Wylie for Thursday night’s game in Denver.

The biggest loss of this bunch is Chris Jones, who is the single most transformative player on that defense. Their best man coverage corner in Kendall Fuller will also be out for their matchup against Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders.
Left tackle Eric Fisher will be unable to prevent Von Miller from getting into the backfield, while the loss of Sammy Watkins deprives Mahomes of another field-stretching weapon.
In addition to Kansas City's already long list of walking wounded, cornerback Bashaud Breeland is questionable due to a non-injury designation.
Kendall Fuller, Eric Fisher, Chris Jones, Andrew Wylie, and Sammy Watkins are OUT for tomorrow's game.

Kansas City has a MASSIVE advantage at quarterback, but they will still take on Denver without some of their best reinforcements able to be called upon.
