Chiefs 1/15/21 Injuries: Gay, Watkins OUT - CEH, Yelder QUESTIONABLE - Page 12

Andy Reid said Willie Gay (left ankle) & Sammy Watkins (calf) are out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (left ankle) & Deon Yelder (groin) are questionable.

Why do people do this? Do you really think Sammy doesn't want to play?

I thought Larry said it was his last year?

Larry is 37 and AJ is 32, AJ isn't that old but he gets injured more than Watkins, I'll pass.

Fitzy isn't going anywhere. He'll either re-sign with ARI, or he's going to retire. He's not going to play for another team.

I don't think anyone who wants Fitzgerald here saw him play this year. At this point even Robinson is a better overall WR.

I'm shocked CEH is out. Usually "questionable" to me, means they're going!

Just read somewhere that Andy thinks CEH is certain to play in the AFCCG. Probably just giving him another week to heal a little more.

Need CEH right now...

Brokedick Sammy was barely missed today.

Mecole/Pringle stepped up.

Pringle is not a Watkins replacement. He was a fifth option and didn’t do anything exceptional.

They just signed a TE Evan Baylis that played in GB (practice squad). 6.6 and 250, coming out they thought a TE2 or possible ILB, ran a 4.9 then...... Ricky Jones replacement or a Spags DE candidate?

Not really. Hill and Kelce stepped up, mostly because CLE just had no real answers for either of them, and they combined for 220 yds and a TD. Which is what I said would be the most likely situation.

Mecole and Darrel kind of filled most of the rest of the 85 or so yards passing.

it would be more accurate to say that Darrel stepped up, delivering nearly 100 yds total offense.

In terms of a secondary option behind the likes of Tyreek/Kelce, yes Hardman and Pringle more than adequately replaced brokedick Sammy yesterday.

My overriding point is that 'secondary options' were basically unnecessary yesterday, as CLE couldn't cover either Hill or Kelce at all. Basically Andy schemed a couple plays for Hardman/Pringle, but they weren't 'necessary.' If Sammy had played, it wouldn't have changed things much, as I predicted earlier, because CLE couldn't put any kind of restraint on Hill and Kelce, the two primary receivers of the offense.
