The injuries are piling up for the Kansas City Chiefs in their Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Harrison Butker and Patrick Mahomes are banged up and toughing things out. Trey Smith is questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury. Now, rookie CB Trent McDuffie has been carted off the field in his debut with an apparent left leg injury.
This injury came on the final play of the Cardinals’ opening possession of the second half. He needed to be helped off the field and to the training table before he was eventually carted to the locker room.

Shortly after he was carted off, the team ruled McDuffie out with a left hamstring injury.

Arizona really hadn’t been throwing to McDuffie’s area of the field too frequently, which is surprising for a rookie. He had one tackle on the day.
Jaylen Watson was in for McDuffie on the ensuing defensive drive. Kyler Murray targeted him on third down and he broke up the pass.
