Kansas City Chiefs Sign New Players Amid Injuries

The Kansas City Chiefs are facing a growing injury crisis as key players, including wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and cornerback Jaylen Watson, will miss significant time due to injuries. Smith-Schuster's hamstring injury will keep him out for the Week 8 matchup against the Raiders, while Watson suffered a broken fibula and tibia, likely sidelining him for the rest of the season. In response, the Chiefs have signed wide receiver Cornell Powell to their practice squad and elevated cornerback Keith Taylor to bolster their roster. Additionally, the team is considering trade options for a replacement for Watson, with veteran Eric Stokes from the Packers being a potential candidate. As they navigate these challenges, the Chiefs remain undefeated at 6-0 and are eyeing a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. The organization is also looking to elevate players from the practice squad to fill the gaps left by injuries, emphasizing their trust in these individuals.
