Watson (groin) agreed to a three-year contract with the Rams on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson's deal won't become official until the new league year begins Wednesday, at which point the Rams should officially have two former Chiefs cornerbacks on their roster in Watson and Trent McDuffie. Watson notched exactly six passes defensed in each of his four regular seasons with Kansas City, exceeding expectations after being drafted in the seventh round in 2022. He started all 15 games in which he appeared for the Chiefs in 2025 before missing the final two games of the season due to a groin injury, an issue he'll presumably be past ahead of OTAs.

The Chiefs moved Watson (groin) to injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Watson likely picked up the groin injury in last Sunday's loss to the Titans, and the Chiefs seem to have thought it best to shut the cornerback down for the season. With the team's playoff hopes dashed, it is likely looking towards next season, not looking for its players to incur potentially severe injury in games where there is no championship hope. Watson will end the 2025 season with 64 tackles (42 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six passes defensed for two interceptions through 15 games.

Watson (groin) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.

EDGE Analysis

Watson likely picked up the injury during the Chiefs' 26-9 loss to the Titans on Sunday, when he finished with seven tackles (three solo). The fourth-year cornerback has two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Thursday's AFC West tilt against Denver. Watson has accumulated 25 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception) in six games since the Chiefs' Week 10 bye.

Watson tallied six solo tackles and an interception during Dallas' win over the Chiefs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Watson had a strong performance despite the loss, as he managed to force the team's lone turnover. The 27-year-old has now compiled 51 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two interceptions across 12 games played.

Watson (back) upgraded to a full practice Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was limited Thursday but should be ready to roll Monday night against Washington. Watson has started all seven games this season, recording 30 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass breakups, including one interception, on 96 percent of the defensive snaps.

Watson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Watson appears to have picked up a back injury during Kansas City's blowout 31-0 win over the Raiders in Week 7, in which he played a season-low 71 percent of defensive snaps. Of course, the Chiefs also benched multiple starters once victory over Las Vegas was well in hand, it's difficult to put too much weight on Watson's low snap count. If he's unable to resume practicing in full Friday and/or Saturday, Watson will likely be assigned an injury designation for Monday Night Football versus Washington.

Watson recorded four solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Monday's 31-28 loss to the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Watson was able to get to Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter, recording his first sack since the 2023 season. The cornerback is now up to 27 total tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over five games this year.

Watson recorded one tackle (one solo) in the Chiefs' win over the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Watson played 98 percent of the Chiefs' defensive snaps against Baltimore, but Lamar Jackson (hamstring) and Cooper Rush rarely threw in Watson's direction. The Chiefs' top outside cornerback, Watson has 23 tackles (13 solo) and three pass breakups, including one interception, across four games to begin the season.

Watson recorded seven tackles and two pass defenses, including an interception, in Sunday's 22-9 victory versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Watson ranked third on Kansas City in tackles behind Nick Bolton (14) and George Karlaftis (10). Watson also registered a key interception, picking off Russell Wilson in the end zone as New York was driving toward the end of the first half. The pickoff was the second of Watson's career and his first since the 2022 season.

Watson recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Friday's 27-21 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Watson started at outside corner, opposite Trent McDuffie, and was off the field for only one defensive snap. Watson looked to be in line for a breakout 2024 season before suffering a serious leg injury that sidelined him for most of the year. Now healthy, he appears to have retained a significant role in the secondary.
