The Kansas City Chiefs are in a game in Week 14 against the Houston Texans, where their chances for the playoffs would be significantly affected with the result here. The team has been battling through injuries on their offensive line entering this game, but it appears another offensive lineman has suffered a significant injury. Let’s take a closer look at the Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs game and discuss what happened.

Wanya Morris Suffers Injury for the Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are going up against one of the top defensive teams in the NFL this season and may be down a fourth offensive lineman. On the team’s first offensive snap, the Chiefs ran the football up the middle of the field for a few yards. However, starting left tackle Wanya Morries would go down with a lower leg injury and remain down.

On the NBC broadcast, announcer Mike Tirico stated that they would not show the replay of the injury as it “wasn’t pleasant”. Morris would be helped off the field, but was in noticeable pain. The team has announced he is questionable to return with a knee injury, but by the looks of things, he shouldn’t be expected to return. Morris got the start for Week 14 after first-round rookie left tackle Josh Simmons was placed on Injured Reserve as he recovers from wrist surgery.

It will be interesting to see how the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line holds up against the Houston Texans’ defense. The Chiefs have eight total offensive linemen on the 53-man roster, so this could be something to keep an eye on throughout the game.
