**Chiefs' Cornerback Jaylen Watson Faces Uncertain Future After Ankle Injury**

Kansas City Chiefs’ defense takes a significant hit with the news that cornerback Jaylen Watson will be out for an extended period. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Watson suffered a fractured ankle during Sunday’s triumph over the San Francisco 49ers.

The 26-year-old athlete is expected to undergo more tests and imaging on Monday to ascertain the severity of the injury and determine if a return in 2024 is feasible. Watson, who was picked in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, has been an integral part of the Chiefs’ defense this season, starting all six games.

In his games this season, Watson has proved his worth by defending six passes and racking up a total of 32 tackles. His absence will undoubtedly leave a gap in the Chiefs’ line-up as they navigate the rest of the season without one of their key defensive players.
