14 Sammy Watkins WR

Watkins (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill (heel/wrist) is listed as questionable for the contest and if he's unable to go, newcomer Kelvin Benjamin could factor in Thursday. In any case, with Watkins out, Chris Conley figures to see plenty of Week 15 snaps, while Demarcus Robinson's profile in the Chiefs' offense would likely expand if Hill is limited or out against Los Angeles.

The Chiefs are content to evaluate Watkins on a day-to-day basis for now and haven't officially ruled him out for Thursday's game against the Chargers, but it seems highly unlikely he'll be available for the divisional showdown after aggravating his lingering right foot injury in practice last week. The issue ultimately sidelined him for the Week 14 win over the Ravens, marking his third absence in four games. If neither Watkins nor Tyreek Hill (heel/wrist) are available Thursday, the Chiefs could be forced to rely more heavily than desired on Kelvin Benjamin, who signed with the team less than a week ago and has had limited time to get up to speed with the playbook.

Watkins (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice report.

After aggravating a foot injury last Thursday, Watkins was given a prognosis of 4-to-6 weeks. Coach Andy Reid later revealed Watkins had an MRI, which was returned "OK," per BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site. A doubtful designation for Week 14 eventually turned into inactive status, something that is poised to continue for Thursday's game versus the Chargers. As long as Watkins is sidelined, Chris Conley and Demarcus Robinson appear to be the biggest beneficiaries, especially if Tyreek Hill has limitations with the heel and wrist injuries he picked up Sunday against the Ravens.

Watkins had been listed as doubtful heading into the weekend, but even that designation was probably optimistic after he aggravated his lingering right foot injury in Thursday's practice. The wideout's status for the rest of the regular season now appears to be in jeopardy, though coach Andy Reid has been unwilling to speculate on Watkins' availability beyond Sunday. At least for Week 14 with Watkins and the newly signed Kelvin Benjamin both inactive, Chris Conley and Demarcus Robinson will benefit from expanded roles alongside Tyreek Hill in three-receiver formations.

It isn't quite clear why the Chiefs are listing Watkins as doubtful instead of just ruling him out, given that Andy Reid confirmed the wideout suffered a setback during Thursday's practice. Reid did say an MRI on the injured foot looked okay, but he didn't comment on the slew of reports suggesting Watkins will be held out for the rest of the regular season. Demarcus Robinson has been filling in as the No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Chris Conley, with Gehrig Dieter also getting seven snaps in last week's 40-33 win over Oakland. The Chiefs aren't expected to use Kelvin Benjamin until Week 15 at the earliest.
