Chiefs HC Andy Reid shares uncertain Week 1 status for rookie WR

Kansas City faces a Week 1 test in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers, but rookie Jalen Royals may not be ready. Andy Reid indicated Royals continues to rehab a knee issue and Week 1 looks unlikely, leaving a late-season timeline. Royals, a fourth-round pick from Utah State, joined KC after a preseason where he recorded 3 catches for 14 yards. His college résumé included 55 receptions, 834 yards, and 6 TDs, earning second-team All-Mountain West honors while starting seven games.
