Taylor, Kansas City's right tackle, navigates knee and ankle injuries but practiced through the week and is slated to start Week 2 vs Philadelphia; Chiefs rely on him to anchor pass protection and the run game. If he exits, Moore or Morris would slide in.

Taylor’s penalties were a concern, with three flags and a hold described as not good enough. Nagy stressed accountability and adjustment expectations, underscoring that officiating consistency varies, so players must adapt to the game-day calls and avoid repeats.

Taylor, Kansas City’s edge protector, is dealing with ankle and knee injuries but practiced, keeping Week 2 in play. His health directly affects KC’s pass protection and run blocking versus Philadelphia, with backup options Moore and Morris ready to enter if symptoms worsen.

Taylor’s four penalties last week put a spotlight on KC’s right tackle spot. A more disciplined, higher-energy start would stabilize Mahomes’ pocket and improve run game timing, potentially lifting the entire offense and easing fantasy risk around the Chiefs' blockers.

Taylor’s penalties (two holds, two false starts) epitomized a rough start for KC’s offense, stalling drives and contributing to the early stagnation. His penalties last season made him a focal point; this game amplified the need for discipline to unlock KC’s playmaking potential.
