Chiefs Rookie Injuries Test Depth | Kansas City Chiefs News

Chiefs’ season opener was a win, but a double injury blow: rookie CB Mansoor Delane (who snagged an interception on his first drive) and LB Cooper McDonald both exited with shoulder and knee injuries respectively. Coach Reid says both are being evaluated, with Delane’s past shoulder issues raising alarms. The team now leans on Kristian Fulton and R Mason Thomas to fill the void. Meanwhile, other rookies showed promise — Kahlil Benson held his own in pass protection, Peter Woods dominated the run game, and Emmett Johnson delivered when given carries. With the Colts looming, how the Chiefs adjust defensively will be critical to maintaining their momentum. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
