In a devastating blow to their playoff hopes, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered two significant injuries during their loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday night. LT Wanya Morris suffered a season-ending knee injury, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, forcing Patrick Mahomes to potentially miss his eighth postseason run. The Chiefs, who now face a 6-7 record, are on the cusp of missing the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Morris' injury occurred on the first play of the game, and he never returned to the field. Head coach Andy Reid expressed concern over the severity of the injury, saying 'Wanya Morris hurt his leg, lower leg. We'll just have to see with the next day or so here how he is.' Trent McDuffie, a 25-year-old defensive back and a first-team All-Pro in 2023, also suffered a knee issue in the second half, which was later diagnosed as a hyperextension. His status for the remainder of the season remains uncertain. The injuries have left the Chiefs' already-thin roster even more vulnerable. Morris had just made his first start of the season on Sunday night, and his absence will be felt on the field. The Chiefs' playoff odds currently sit at 15%, and they face a tough road ahead, requiring them to win all four of their remaining games to stay in the playoff race.
