Maclin went to the locker room and then quickly returned to the sideline, where the trainers continued to examine him. We’ll update when there is more information on the injury.
Maclin is the top receiver in Kansas City, and given that the team has clinched a playoff spot and could even host a playoff game, any significant injury to him would be huge. Maclin had three receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown when he exited the game with the injury.
This season, Maclin is the Chiefs' leading receiver by a wide margin. Going into Sunday he had 84 receptions for 1,034 yards and seven touchdowns, well above the next receiver, Albert Wilson (32 catches, 427 yards). Tight end Travis Kelce is the most reliable target behind Maclin, with 71 catches, 865 yards and five touchdowns.
