The Kansas City Chiefs have a decision to make with Justyn Ross expected to return off the exempt list in Week 16, and it could involve fellow forward Skyy Moore.
The latter once again struggled against the New England Patriots, leaving the game with just 16 offensive snaps and a broken target/reception that resulted in a fumble.
After the win, head coach Andy Reid attributed the early departure to a left knee injury that “swelled up a little bit,”
but that didn’t stop analysts and fans from attacking Moore for his near mistake which was recalled due to a penalty.
“This should be the final moment of Skyy Moore’s tenure with the Chiefs,” Sports Illustrated NFL editor Matt Verderame said on X after the called fumble.Advertisement.
Yahoo Fantasy analyst Andy Behrens also urged the Chiefs to “PUT MOORE ON THE SHELF UNTIL SUMMER 2024.” And one KC fan even openly suggested:
“I hope Ross takes over Skyy’s role in this attack.
“The Chiefs currently have six wide receivers on the 53-man roster entering Week 16.
That doesn’t include Ross, who is expected to be activated before an upcoming Christmas Day appearance against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Unless KC wants to waste seven active roster spots on underperforming WRs, he will have to release Richie James or free one up creatively.
Kansas City A to Z media member Charles Goldman discussed on Dec. 17 how Moore’s injury would make this possible.
