With just a few weeks left before the start of the 2024 NFL season, more bad news has hit Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Another teammate has suffered an injury, leaving his availability for Week 1 uncertain.
Following their preseason debut with a 26-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Andy Reid‘s team continues to fine-tune their preparations for the new NFL season, aiming to secure the championship ring for the second consecutive year.
The game against the Jaguars not only ended with a negative result but also revealed a serious injury to new acquisition Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, who could be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks.
However, the bad news for Reid and company didn’t stop there. In recent hours, another injury to an offensive player under Mahomes’ leadership was revealed, requiring him to step up efforts to achieve positive results with a physically depleted team.
Arrowhead Stadium will be the venue for the Chiefs‘ Week 1 debut against the always tough Baltimore Ravens. The reigning champions will arrive with a depleted roster, but they will do everything in their power to secure the victory.
An injury that concerns the offense
According to journalist Adam Schefter, who shared the news on his X (formerly Twitter) account, OT Jawaan Taylor suffered a shoulder injury at today’s practice. One source indicated that the team is ‘not overly concerned at this time.’
Taylor joins the recent injury list of Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, who suffered a severe injury in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and will be sidelined for several weeks.
