Kansas City Chiefs fans are facing uncertainty as Skyy Moore heads to injured reserve following an injury. Moore’s setback is another hit to the Chiefs’ already thin receiving lineup, leaving fans and analysts wondering how this will impact Kansas City’s offense.
Here’s a look at what happened to Skyy Moore and what his timeline for recovery might look like.
How did Skyy Moore get injured while playing football?
The Kansas City Chiefs placed Skyy Moore on injured reserve due to a core muscle injury.
Although Moore wasn’t listed on Wednesday’s injury report, the Chiefs formally announced the injury when they finalized a trade for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, making room on their 53-man roster. Moore’s absence complicates an already challenging season for Kansas City’s receiving core.
Injuries have plagued the receiving position, with key players like Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown also on injured reserve. This situation further limits Patrick Mahomes’ options. Moore, a second-round pick in 2022, has played 82 offensive snaps this season but has not recorded any receptions. As a result, Kansas City’s receiving performance has fallen below its usual standard.
When will Skyy Moore return to play with the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL?
Skyy Moore will miss a minimum of four games, as per NFL rules for players placed on injured reserve. Barring any complications with his recovery, he will be eligible to return on November 24 when the Chiefs face the Carolina Panthers.
The Chiefs’ offensive strategy now relies heavily on DeAndre Hopkins, who joined Kansas City from the Tennessee Titans this week. Other available receivers include JuJu Smith-Schuster, Xavier Worthy, and Mecole Hardman. Meanwhile, Travis Kelce and running backs like Kareem Hunt will likely receive increased workloads to fill the void left by Moore and other injured receivers.
This season, Moore continues to struggle to establish himself in the Chiefs’ offense, reflecting his underwhelming performances over the past two years. His absence complicates matters as Kansas City seeks to maintain momentum in a challenging season marked by multiple receiver injuries. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will need to adapt the offense around Hopkins and other key players.
