Hill was sidelined for most of the week 1 match up versus the Jaguars after having to be carted off during the 1st half from an apparent shoulder injury.
He was taken to the local hospital after the game where they diagnosed him with a rare sternoclavicular joint injury. The Chiefs will be cautious as this is not a common injury, as Danny Amendola was the last player to sustain this injury back in 2012 when playing for the Rams.
Luckily for Chiefs fans, Hill was able to avoid the Injured Reserve list. The timetable for his return is set at 4-6 weeks. If Hill was designated to the IR, he would have to wait the mandatory 8 weeks before being cleared to return.
Kansas City travels to Oakland to take on the Raiders in week 2. Hill’s presence will be missed, so expect Kelce and Sammy Watkins to be the top targets of Mahomes. Along with this, rookie WR Mecole Hardman should get more snaps as well.
