We will know the official diagnosis after additional tests are done tomorrow, but the Chiefs are fearing a torn ACL. If he is out for the season, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore figure to be in for a larger role in the offense alongside Xavier Worthy.

Christian Watson is a candidate for injured reserve due to his high-ankle sprain.

Watson suffered the injury during Sunday’s game vs the Vikings. While the severity of the injury is not set in stone at the moment, the injury does seem severe enough for the Packers to consider placing him on IR. An official move will likely be made sometime this week.
