For the “Sunday Night Game” the Kansas City Chiefs travel to Los Angeles for a very important division duel against the Chargers. It is still unclear which wide receivers in California will catch the balls from NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes.
Definitely not included is Mecole Hardman, who is currently suffering from a stomach injury and was placed on the injury reserve list by the Chiefs on Thursday evening. Hardman will definitely miss the next four games.

In addition, Juju Smith-Schuster is still listed as a question at Kansas City. The new signing from the Pittsburgh Steelers is suffering from a concussion and has not been able to train this week. If he is not on the training ground on Friday either, it would already look close in view of the duel with the Chargers.
The chances are significantly better with wide receiver number three in the Chiefs’ hospital. Marquez Valdes-Scantling was also absent recently, but should be able to train again on Friday after recovering from illness and will probably be available on Sunday.
Toney arrived on time this NFL year?
Patrick Mahomes and Co. should also have hopes for Kadarius Toney. Signed by the New York Giants at the end of October, Toney had played well against the Jaguars the previous week. The 23-year-old recorded 90 yards from scrimmage, 33 yards from rushing and 57 receiving yards, and scored a touchdown.
Toney was out injured most of the season prior to his move to the Chiefs and wasn’t a factor at all with the Giants. The Chiefs still let the services of the receiver cost them a third and a sixth round pick.
Most of the hopes in the receiving game are shouldered by someone else. Travis Kelce will be particularly important again this weekend. The tight end already has 740 yards under his belt, ranking sixth in the league. His eight touchdowns are the best this NFL season (shared with Davante Adams).
