Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson is set to have surgery following a broken fibula and tibia sustained during a recent game against the San Francisco 49ers. While there is a chance he could return if the Chiefs make the playoffs, his absence could extend for the remainder of the season. Watson has been a consistent presence in the Chiefs' defense, starting all six games this season and contributing significantly with six passes broken up. The Chiefs will need to rely on other players to fill the void left by his injury.

• Jaylen Watson's injury is a significant blow to the Chiefs' defense.
• The team may need to rely on younger players like Joshua Williams or Nazeeh Johnson to step up.
