Chiefs CB Jaylen Watson (ankle) on IR, set for surgery

The Kansas City Chiefs placed cornerback Jaylen Watson on injured reserve Tuesday and could be without him for the rest of the season.

Watson will have surgery on a broken fibula and tibia in his ankle, ESPN reported, and while he could make it back in time for the playoffs, it’s far from a guarantee.

Watson, 26, was injured in Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers that pushed the Chiefs to 6-0. He had started all six games and recorded 32 tackles and six pass breakups.

Watson has played in 38 games (14 starts) since being selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft. He returned a pick 99 yards for a touchdown in his second career game, which remains his only interception. He also has 114 tackles, two sacks and 18 pass breakups.

Kansas City signed cornerback Keith Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.
