Chiefs CB Antonio Hamilton questionable to return with groin injury

The hits keep coming for the Kansas City Chiefs secondary.

The team has ruled their starting slot corner, Antonio Hamilton, as questionable to return with a groin injury. The Chiefs are already missing starting outside cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland and Charvarius Ward, due to a suspension and a hand injury respectively. Now they could be without their starting slot cornerback for the remainder of the game.

The defense has mostly kept the Chargers in check, but they have quite a few weapons in the passing game. Keenan Allen takes some snaps in the slot and so far he’s been held to two receptions for four yards.

Kansas City is dangerously thin on cornerback depth if Hamilton is unable to return. They’ll likely turn to Tyrann Mathieu to fill in at the slot and possibly spell him with rookie CB BoPete Keyes, who is the last man on the depth chart for the Chiefs.
