Could help fill in for Brown Watson could see added early-season opportunities, with Marquise Brown dealing with a shoulder injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

Impact With Brown -- whose availability to start the coming season unclear -- unable to practice, Teicher relays that Watson has been taking many of the snaps that would have otherwise gone to Brown. While it remains to be seen if fellow wide receiver Rashee Rice will miss any time this season due to a potential suspension, it does appear in any event that Watson is a candidate to see increased snaps out of the gate this season pending Brown's status, with rookie Xavier Worthy additionally poised to factor in. Also in mix for WR depth chart slotting are Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney, Justyn Ross, Mecole Hardman and Nikko Remigio

Returns to practice Watson (foot) is participating in practice Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Watson injured his foot during practice July 24 and missed several days of training camp, but he's back on the field Sunday. That confirms initial reports that the receiver's foot issue wouldn't sideline him long-term. Watson is looking to establish himself as a Top 4 option among Kansas City's receiving corps after setting career-high marks with 27 catches for 460 yards and three touchdowns over 16 regular-season games last year.

Foot injury downplayed Watson is expected to miss just a few days of training camp with what Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com refers to as a minor foot issue.

Impact Per Derrick, at first glace the left foot injury that Watson sustained Wednesday appeared concerning, but tests have reportedly revealed that the wideout avoided a long-term issue. Once Watson is able to return to practice, he'll look to cement his standing in a Kansas City WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy, Kadarius Toney, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore. In 16 regular-season outings in 2023, Watson compiled a 27/460/3 receiving line.

Injured at practice Watson (undisclosed) departed Wednesday's practice early due to an apparent injury, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Impact Watson was injured while catching a pass, then after meeting with trainers was carted into the locker room, per Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. The severity of his injury remains undisclosed, but any missed time on Watson's part will open up first-team opportunities for receivers lower on Kansas City's depth chart, especially with Xavier Worthy (illness) still missing time. Kadarius Toney, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore, Justyn Ross and Nikko Remigio could all notably benefit from more first-team reps.

Logs just 18 snaps in Week 18 Watson didn't catch a pass (on one target) during Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers.

Impact Watson was among those active for Sunday's regular-season finale, but he didn't play too much, instead allowing Mecole Hardman (58 snaps), Richie James (48 snaps) and Justyn Ross (38 snaps) to claim the vast majority of action at wide receiver. Watson had played 45 percent or more of the offensive snaps in each of the previous seven games, and he will presumably claim a larger role in the postseason. Watson closes out the regular season with 27 catches for 460 yards and three touchdowns on 53 targets, finishing second among wideouts in all of the categories to rookie Rashee Rice.
