The Kansas City Chiefs lost more than Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Starting cornerback Kendall Fuller played through the matchup with a wrist injury, which is believed to be a fracture, and the plan is for surgery Friday morning, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
How much time Fuller would miss remains to be seen, but his pending absence would represent a significant blow to an already shaky pass defense, which ranks last in the league, for a playoff-bound team.
Fuller was penalized for two critical penalties in Thursday night's game: a 5-yard defensive holding in the second quarter and pass interference in the end zone with eight seconds remaining in the game. The Chargers capitalized on both infractions by scoring touchdowns.
The Chiefs' options to replace Fuller alongside Steven Nelson include cornerbacks Orlando Scandrick, Charvarius Ward and Tremon Smith.
Here are other injuries we are monitoring Friday:
- New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham's quad injury will keep him out Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, coach Pat Shurmur said. Beckham didn't play last week, either.
- Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was diagnosed with a hip pointer and could miss some time, Rapoport reported. Allen suffered the injury in the second quarter of Thursday night's win over the Chiefs. Rapoport added that Allen has no structural damage and the injury is not expected to affect him long-term.
- Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz, who's dealing with a fracture in his back, is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Backup signal-caller Nick Foles is expected to start the game, Rapoport reported. Pederson confirmed Wentz's injury will not need surgery.
"He has a stress injury that evolved over time and it won't require surgery," Pederson said. "If we put him out there, there has to be 100 percent that there is no risk of anything further."
