Jared Wiley has been absent from practice, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game. If he cannot play, the Chiefs may consider calling up TE Peyton Hendershot from the practice squad to fill the gap in their tight end position.

Jared Wiley was placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL during practice this week, further depleting the Chiefs' offensive options.

Jared Wiley suffered a non-contact knee injury during practice, which was later diagnosed as a torn ACL, leading to his placement on injured reserve. Before his injury, he had played 94 offensive snaps over seven games. His absence adds to the Chiefs' tight end woes, as they were already dealing with Jody Fortson's knee injury. Wiley's role will be filled by Peyton Hendershot, who is stepping up from the practice squad as the team's third tight end.

Jared Wiley was expected to step up as the No. 3 tight end for the Chiefs following Jody Fortson's season-ending injury. However, he suffered a torn ACL during practice, which will also sideline him for the remainder of the season. Wiley had been sharing third tight end duties with Fortson, but with both now out, the Chiefs will need to adjust their tight end strategy moving forward.

Jared Wiley did not participate in practice on Thursday due to an Achilles injury.
