The Kansas City Chiefs edged the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 in a hard-fought matchup. The game featured a few notable injuries: tight end Travis Kelce played through an ankle issue after an early setback, while right tackle Jaylon Moore exited with a concussion and did not return.
Jalen Royals, a second-year wide receiver, was briefly checked for concussion-like symptoms during the contest but was cleared to return. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed after the game that there is no ongoing concern for Royals. “Royals went in to be checked for a concussion, but he was good there,” Reid said.
Royals took on a larger role with Rashee Rice sidelined by a hamstring injury. He finished with two receptions for 24 yards. Overall, the Chiefs’ passing game did not make a major impact, though one of Royals’ catches produced an 18-yard gain.
