Jaylen Watson is officially going on injured reserve due to a fractured ankle, which significantly impacts the Chiefs' defensive lineup. His absence opens the door for Keith Taylor, who has been promoted from the practice squad to take his place on the active roster. Taylor had shown promise during training camp, indicating he could step up in Watson's absence. The Chiefs will likely give other defensive players, such as Nazeeh Johnson and Joshua Williams, opportunities to take on increased responsibilities as they adjust to Watson's injury.
