McKinnon isn’t a big factor in the Chiefs rushing game; he has just 30 yards on the ground this season. However, McKinnon has been effective as a receiver; he has 19 receptions for 155 yards, and three touchdowns.
McKinnon’s absence could be a problem if the Chiefs wide receivers struggle with drops in cold weather at Lambeau Field.
