Jalen Royals Positioned for Breakout Amid Concussion Protocols
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
After spending the early part of his rookie season on the sidelines, Jalen Royals is poised for a potential breakout performance. Much like a certificate of deposit that accumulates interest over time, Royals has been quietly waiting for his moment to shine. That moment may be just around the corner as both Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton find themselves in concussion protocol.
With neither Rice nor Thornton participating in practice this week, the likelihood of their availability for the upcoming game against Tennessee on Sunday is diminishing. The absence of these two key wide receivers could open a significant opportunity for Royals to step into a more prominent role.
Royals’ position coach has hinted at this possibility, suggesting that the young receiver might be stepping into an open door. This comes at a critical juncture in the season when every player must be ready to seize their moment.
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their matchup against the Titans, Royals’ readiness will be key. The game is set to kick off at 12 p.m. CT and will be broadcast on CBS and KCTV, Channel 5, as well as on 96.5 The Fan.
With the stage set, all eyes will be on Royals to see if he can capitalize on this unexpected chance and make a significant impact on the field.
