I would think it is nothing that serious but then knee injuries are never good so could see him missing several weeks.

The DL is deep and the team can use the IR and have him return later in the season (like Sorensen last year) if the knee has damage. It was reported that they are waiting for the swelling to go down to identify the injury, possibly indicating there’s some damage there. With how deep the DL is and the nature of knee injuries in general, I wouldn’t be surprised if they went the IR route to clean it up and let it heal. That’s just a guess, though. Hopefully it’s fine and just needs scoped and it’s just a short term thing. Either way, roster spots are at a premium for the 2019 Chiefs squad.
