The Kansas City Chiefs will need Santa to deliver some helpful backups on Christmas morning before their matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Chiefs ruled out four key offensive players for their Week 16 matchup.
The Chiefs ended their two-game losing streak last week when they outlasted the New England Patriots in Week 15. The 9-5 Chiefs hope to gain seed position in the AFC West this weekend when they play the Raiders. But it won’t be easy as the 6-8 Raiders played extremely motivated football in their last outing when they blew out the Las Angeles Chargers 63-21.
The Chiefs will face extra adversity on Sunday when they play the Raiders. According to Adam Teicher with ESPN, the Chiefs ruled out wide receiver Kadarius Toney and running back Jerick McKinnon against the Raiders.
Per Adam Schefter with ESPN, the Chiefs ruled out wide receiver Mecole Hardman and left tackle Donovan Smith.
The Chiefs already came into Week 16 struggling on offense. The Chiefs lead the league in drops. Their running back play hasn’t been great recently, and Isiah Pacheco is returning after having shoulder surgery last week. To add to the problems at skilled positions, rookie left tackle Wanya Morris will be asked to line up across from Maxx Crosby, who has 13.5 sacks this season.
The Chiefs will be in for a more challenging battle against the Raiders on Christmas than what the public would have thought on paper when the Raiders fired Josh McDaniels a few weeks ago.
