Last week, it became public knowledge that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had aggravated his foot injury and would be out for the Baltimore Ravens game on Sunday.
Soon after, we learned that the timetable for his return is four to six weeks — but that clock started running when the original injury occurred in Week 9. So his status at this point is day-to-day.
It has been reported that the Chiefs — for precautionary reasons — are considering shutting Watkins down until the playoffs. Late last week — in a move that is likely related to Watkins’ status — the Chiefs signed former first-round draft pick Kelvin Benjamin to a veteran minimum contract.
