Chiefs' Edge Rusher Injury Update | Kansas City Chiefs News

Chiefs’ defensive line hit a major snag as second-year standout Ashton Gillotte ruptured his plantar fascia during training camp—just as the team was bolstering that position. Though head coach Andy Reid downplays it as a “nick and bruise,” the timing is brutal with roster cuts looming and the season opener just weeks away. Gillotte, a third-round pick who earned rookie honors last year with solid stats and growing impact, could be sidelined for crucial games. His injury threatens to expose a thin edge rush depth chart, especially with recent addition Emmanuel Ogbah now potentially carrying extra load. Everyone’s crossing fingers that Reid’s optimism holds—and that rehab keeps him healthy for the long season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
