Watts suffered the injury covering a kickoff in Saturday evening's preseason finale against the Bucs. The No. 124 overall pick of the 2018 Draft by the Chiefs, Watts has carved out an NFL career as a linchpin special teamer. He will be a 27-year-old trying to come back in 2023.

The former fourth-round pick appeared in 53 games across four seasons for the Chiefs, missing only one game over the past three years. Watts never saw much action on defense in Kansas City but was a fixture on special teams with three snaps shy of 1,000 on that side of the ball in four seasons.

Watts rebounded from a rookie campaign in which he played just five games due to injury, managing to remain healthy the entire 2019 season and contribute as a depth option in Kansas City's secondary and on special teams. He stands to handle a similar gig for 2020.

Watts was on the non-football injury list with the rib issue but was able to return to the field without missing too much of training camp. The 23-year-old played in only five games during his rookie campaign after undergoing abdominal surgery in October.
