Chiefs rookie WR Skyy Moore suffers hip injury

When the Kansas City Chiefs traded All-Pro Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins in March, they knew they wouldn't be able to replace his production with one player. Instead, Kansas City continued a busy offseason by adding the likes of wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster to the fold.

In late April, the Chiefs also used a second-round pick in the NFL Draft to select wide receier Skyy Moore out of Western Michigan. Moore had a monster 2021 season, finishing atop the MAC leaderboard in receiving touchdowns (10), while placing second in both receptions (95) and receiving yards (1,292) as well.

The 21-year-old is expected to line up behind Valdes-Scantling, Smith-Schuster and one-time Pro Bowler Mecole Hardman on the Kansas City depth chart, but should see plenty of targets in a pass-heavy offense. Chiefs fans learned that Moore suffered a hip injury during Tuesday's training camp session, but it's still too early to tell how serious the ailment is.

Head coach Andy Reid's group takes on the Chicago Bears on Aug. 13 in their preseason opener.
