The Kansas City Chiefs added extra carnage to their already shorthanded roster during their loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day. The Chiefs announced they lost three offensive weapons and starting left tackle Donovan Smith befor their Week 16 contest.
The Chiefs added two injuries to the offensive side of the ball Monday afternoon that will be worrying for the team before their final two games of the regular season.

That’s frustrating news for the Chiefs, as the preseason AFC favorite has not clinched the AFC West by Christmas. The Chiefs have lost three of their last four games.
The Chiefs will play the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers to end the regular season. Their offensive line and running back situation doesn’t look good for those two contests. The Chiefs placed running back Jerick McKinnon on injured reserve Saturday. Smith missed the Raiders game with a neck injury.
The Chiefs will have a short turnaround this week for Smith and Pacheco to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

The Chiefs looked HORRID! L.V. D line devastated them, at home! Mahomes had the most yds rushing & left limping & fustrated, Time to trade their receiving corps. Keep Kelce, Watson, James & Rice. Scant-ling(in yds) did play? Dump him, Moore, Toney & Hardman(too many injuries). Shouls be a number of great receivers in the free agency. Tyreek? not yet.
