The Chiefs likely have lost both Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice for the season, and are currently without RB Isaiah Pacheco for about eight weeks. The team is 4-0, but the offense has been hit hard.
@AdamSchefter: Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game vs the Chargers, per sources. There will be additional testing to confirm the initial diagnosis. https://t.co/lx5FKFpCVj

RT: The #Chargers can't block Chris Jones. And Justin Herbert comes up limping again.
The Chargers fell to .500 after losing to the Chiefs, 17-10.
Here’s our recap of the Week 4 loss.
Samaje Perine found the end zone with six minutes left in the fourth quarter to grasp the lead. The Chargers had the opportunity to tie the game but were unable to.
The Chargers have their bye week, which they will use to get their key players back to full strength. Their next game is on the road against the Broncos on Oct. 13 at 1:05 p.m. PT.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Los Angeles Chargers in a Week 4 matchup that could help the defending champions maintain their stranglehold on the AFC West.
Los Angeles has been plagued by key injuries to start the 2024 regular season. While quarterback Justin Herbert, who was banged up last week, is expected to take the field on Sunday afternoon, the Chargers will be without the services of veteran safety Derwin James, who is serving a suspension.
Given the attrition in its starting lineup, Los Angeles will be in a tough spot against the 3-0 Chiefs.
Coming into Sunday’s game, the Chiefs had allowed the second-most opening drive points of any NFL team with 17. After giving the Chargers the ball on their own 26 following a Carson Steele fumble, Kansas City also allowed three plays of 10 or more yards as Los Angeles marched down the field.
The third of that set was a 15 yard curl to rookie receiver Ladd McConkey to set up LA with first and goal from the 9 yard line. After a Gus Edwards carry gained 2 yards, the Chargers set up on second and goal from the 7
The Chargers will be without both of their starting offensive tackles on Sunday when they face the Chiefs.
Joe Alt has been downgraded to doubtful after being listed as questionable on the final injury report.
Alt is dealing with a knee injury that he sustained in the fourth quarter of the Week 3 game against the Steelers.
Rashawn Slater had been ruled out with a pectoral injury.
