Although the Kansas City Chiefs delivered their first shutout victory since the 2015 postseason on Sunday afternoon — a 31-0 domination of the Las Vegas Raiders — the team did not escape without injury concerns. Three key contributors — including two starters on the offensive line — left the game with injuries.

After the game, head coach Andy Reid expressed uncertainty about defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott. The rookie had been ruled out with a knee injury after taking an apparent cheap shot from Raiders’ offensive lineman Stone Forsythe late in the third quarter. Norman-Lott was helped off the field by teammates — including quarterback Patrick Mahomes — while Forsythe drew a personal foul for unnecessary roughness.

“As far as the injuries go, Norman Lott, Omar, is really the only one,” said Reid. “He hurt his knee, and then we’ll get an MRI and see how he is tomorrow — [and] exactly what it is. Other than that, the guys did a nice job there as far as that goes.”

Right guard Trey Smith left the game in the first half. He was initially reported as questionable to return with a back injury. But Smith did not return — although it is difficult to know if the Chiefs’ 21-0 halftime lead affected the decision to be cautious.

“Trey’s back did lock up on him,” said Reid. “So, we’ve got to just see. Hopefully, it’s nothing, but we’ll just see how he does.”

Reid also praised reserve guard Mike Caliendo for taking Smith’s place — and did the same for Jaylon Moore, who again filled for the missing left tackle Josh Simmons.

“Caliendo did a nice job of coming in,” noted the head coach. (Jaylon) “Moore filled in again — and did a nice job there.”

At the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs started rotating their backups into the game with a Raider comeback out of reach. The team announced right tackle Jawaan Taylor as questionable to return with a shoulder injury. Taylor — along with multiple key starters — did not return to the game.

While Reid did not address Taylor’s status, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reported that Taylor was with teammates on the bench; it appeared he would have been available had the game not already been decided with a full quarter remaining.

After Kansas City’s first touchdown in the first quarter, running back Kareem Hunt was helped off the field by teammates. He returned on the Chiefs’ next offensive drive.

In the third quarter, wide receiver Xavier Worthy appeared frustrated on the sideline after apparently aggravating the same shoulder he injured in Week 1 that sidelined him for two games. But Worthy took the field on the next possession — and recorded a 13-yard rush on an end-around.

With Kansas City set to take on the Washington Commanders in Week 8’s “Monday Night Football,” players will have an extra day to recover before getting back the field. Our next definitive update on some injuries may not be available until Thursday, when the practice week will begin.
