The Kansas City Chiefs are only down by three points at halftime in their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, but things may be trending down for the defending Super Bowl champions’ offense.
Star wide receiver Rashee Rice was injured in the first quarter of the game, and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gave a grim update on his status as he headed to the locker room at the intermission.
When CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson asked Reid if he could give details about the extent of Rice’s injury, the long-tenured coach’s answer was brief.
“It’s not good.”
Rice was initially listed as questionable before his status was updated to out.

With Rice sidelined, the Chiefs will rely on Xavier Worthy, Skyy Moore, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Justin Watson to give Patrick Mahomes options in the passing game.
Stay tuned to see how Reid and Mahomes adjust with their top receiver out of the game.
