Chiefs Dealt Double Injury Blow Before Facing Broncos
The Chiefs have received worrying injury news before facing the Broncos, with two important pieces of their secondary sidelined.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos will face off in an AFC West showdown on Sunday, with the division lead hanging in the balance. Kansas City currently sits at 5-1 after suffering their first loss of the NFL season to Seattle in the previous week, while Denver boasts a 5-2 record and has been riding a three-game winning streak after defeating the Cardinals in Arizona. The Chiefs emerged victorious in their first encounter against the Broncos in Week 1, overpowering them with a 31-10 scoreline.
However, Denver's recent performance has been impressive, and they now have the chance to leapfrog their division rivals in the standings. With a secondary defense allowing only 18.3 points per game since the start of Week 2, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense will face a formidable challenge.
Regrettably, Kansas City's defense will be without two of its best players. Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane has been downgraded to out with a shoulder injury, following his initial listing as questionable on Friday's injury report. Veteran corner L Jarius Sneed, on the other hand, has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury, and will miss at least the next four games. With Sneed sidelined, the Chiefs will be without two crucial members of their secondary in a critical matchup against Denver.
