Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed that they have placed tackle Jawaan Taylor and linebacker Leo Chenal on Injured Reserve. That means that, officially, both players are out for the rest of the season.

At this point, no one knows if the Chiefs will be able to reinvent themselves and become Super Bowl contenders in 2026. The offensive line failed Mahomes once again in key moments, the star wide receivers did not respond, and Travis Kelce could retire.
