Kansas City Chiefs speedster Tyquan Thornton dislocated his ankle in the victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.It leaves head coach Andy Reid without a key field-stretching option for the regular season and looking at free agency to plug the gap.Watson spent last season with the Houston Texans but struggled to stay fitGettyThe Chiefs could turn to the man Thornton replaced, with Justin Watson available having been released by the Houston Texans.Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star says there are several teams in contention to sign Watson with the Chiefs among them.The 30-year-old beat Kansas City in the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before participating in back-to-back triumphs with Patrick Mahomes.He enjoys good chemistry with the Chiefs quarterback but managed just a handful of games last season due to a calf injury.Watson caught 64 passes for 1,064 yards and seven touchdowns in Kansas City.A remarkable 56 of those completions went for a first down or score to highlight his downfield playmaking.The Chiefs have also been linked with a Tyreek Hill reunion, although the former Miami Dolphins wideout is currently in the midst of a legal dispute which could hold up a decision.Chiefs vs Chargers in Week 5After a nightmare 2025 season, Reid’s team is firing again with Mahomes looking like his former self.The 0-4 Los Angeles Chargers are up next as the Chiefs look to maintain a 100 percent start and keep control of the AFC West.One of the highlights has been the form of free agent running back Kenneth Walker III, who has electrified the run game.He won two of his three rings in Kansas CityGettyThornton will be a bis miss for the ChiefsGetty“The offense, we’re not doing what we want, but we’re continuing to stay with the process of the game plan, and eventually we will get through,” Mahomes said after beating the Raiders. “When you have a guy like Kenneth, that’ll get you through, and that’s not just a 20-yard run, that’s a 70-yard run.”Walker has stayed humble despite racking up 537 rushing yards at over six yards per carry already this season.“I feel like it’s a whole team effort,” he said. “I know I get a lot of the credit, but I always say those guys up front, the linemen, the wide receivers and tight ends, they’re doing a great job of making me and [the other running backs’] job a lot easier.”Join talkSPORT’s dedicated US Sports YouTube channel The S* Word every Tuesday and Thursday for our brand new NFL shows.On Tuesdays, Will Gavin and US senior reporter Brian T.
