Chiefs' Sammy Watkins in concussion protocol

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins is in the league's concussion protocol, per head coach Andy Reid.

What It Means:

Watkins claimed that he was "healthy" after exiting Week 2 early following a helmet-to-helmet hit. Reid says it's more of a neck than head issue for Watkins. Demarcus Robinson, Byron Pringle, and Mecole Hardman could all see more work if Watkins doesn't play Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

Watkins and the Chiefs' offense may find it a bit harder to move the ball in Week 3 against a Ravens team that is 1st in passing defense and overall defense through the first two games, per numberFire's metrics. Watkins has the third-highest target share (15.6 percent) on the team.
