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.

The past few weeks have been a nightmare for the Chiefs, with a roster plagued by injuries. Obviously, the biggest problem for the franchise is Patrick Mahomes and the torn ACL in his left knee, which will require at least nine months of recovery.

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.
