Andy Reid Announces Chiefs Setback Amid NFL Season

Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs have been hit with several big-time injuries during the NFL season, most notably to quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes recently went down with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

The Chiefs struggled to protect Mahomes and frankly had trouble finding a consistent offensive rhythm.

Much of their hardship came from a broken offensive line that's dealt injuries to Jawaan Taylor, Trey Smith, Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore.

Most recently, Reid announced an injury to Moore. The Kansas City Chiefs' offensive line suffered a knee injury and missed practice on Wednesday.

"Leo Chenal (shoulder), Trent McDuffie (knee), Jaylon Moore (knee), Rashee Rice (concussion protocol), Jawaan Taylor (triceps) and Tyquan Thornton (concussion protocol) won’t practice for the Chiefs today, per Coach Reid."

The Kansas City Chiefs will be playing the Tennessee Titans in Week 16. They're heading into the game with Gardner Minshew as the starting quarterback, taking over for the injured Patrick Mahomes.

While Minshew will be thrust into the lineup, the offensive line is still shaky.

As Andy Reid monitors the injury to Jaylon Moore, the Chiefs will certainly be without Josh Simmons and Wanya Morris, both of whom suffered season-ending injuries.
