The Chiefs have gone two full games and most of another without wide receiver Sammy Watkins on the field, and star wideout Tyreek Hill had his worst game of the season — from a production standpoint — on Sunday in Oakland.
With that backdrop, the Chiefs reportedly hosted on Thursday former Buffalo Bills receiver Kelvin Benjamin, a former first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Benjamin’s visit, while Benjamin also appeared in a Twitter photo alleged to have been taken at Kansas City International Airport on Thursday.
While first-year starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues playing at a historic pace — he has reached 4,000 career passing yards quicker than any quarterback in NFL history — the final month of the regular includes a matchup against the league’s top defensive team this weekend, as well as contests against the Los Angeles Chargers, who sit one game behind the Chiefs in the AFC West, and a road game against the NFC playoff hopeful Seattle Seahawks.
