The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t been afraid to rely on their rookies this season. In Week 1, two defensive rookies earned the start and each of the team’s nine rookies on the 53-man roster got snaps.
One of the two starting rookies was CB Trent McDuffie, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Cardinals and was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. With McDuffie hurt, the Chiefs turned to seventh-round rookie CB Jaylen Watson out of Washington State during the game. Watson stepped up and performed admirably after coming in cold off the bench.
