The Kansas City Chiefs have won six games in a row, but it seems that the season will be a little complicated due to the absence of one of their best defensive players.
During the win against the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium, linebacker Nick Bolton suffered a wrist injury and the diagnosis is serious. According to Tom Pelissero’s report, the University of Missouri graduate will miss almost two months of activity because he needs surgery after dislocating his wrist. This means that the linebacker will miss games against the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots.
The injury occurred midway through the fourth quarter while tackling wide receiver Keenan Allen. That was his ninth tackle of the game against the Chargers. This season, Bolton has played four games and has 28 tackles, one interception and one pass deflection after playing 85 percent of the Chiefs’ defensive snaps along with 13 percent of the special teams snaps.
