What happened: The Kansas City Chiefs ruled tight end Jared Wiley out for the remainder of Sunday's game with a right ankle injury after initially listing him as questionable. The downgrade leaves Kansas City shorthanded at tight end during the contest. The move follows an earlier sequence where Travis Kelce also exited injured.
Why it matters: Wiley was drafted in the fourth round in 2024 to provide depth behind Kelce. With both tight ends sidelined, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense face significant personnel adjustments in multiple-tight-end packages. The injuries test Kansas City's offensive depth as the 2026 regular season enters mid-November.
By the numbers: Wiley caught 1 pass for 4 yards in 5 games last season (2025) with the Chiefs. Kelce has caught 33 passes for 482 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Kansas City will evaluate Wiley's right ankle following the game ahead of practice updates for Week 12.
