Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Lands on IR
The Kansas City Chiefs placed Skyy Moore on injured reserve Thursday due to a core-muscle injury.Moore joins fellow wideouts Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on IR, with the move occurring on the same day that DeAndre Hopkins was officially traded to the Chiefs. The soonest Moore can return to game action is Nov. 24 against the Panthers, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by then. Head coach Andy Reid said that the receiver's injury will "need to get fixed," implying that Moore will soon get surgery, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. Prior to his placement on IR, the 2022 second-round pick did not record a catch on three targets over six games.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Fails to reel in lone target
Skyy Moore played 33 of the Kansas City Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers. He also returned a kickoff for 28 yards.Moore's 47 percent snap share was his highest of the season, but he was unable to connect with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and remains without a reception through the Chiefs' first six games. Though Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) are out for the regular season, and JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is set to miss Sunday's game in Las Vegas, Moore is unlikely to see his role dramatically increase in Week 8. The Chiefs are in advanced talks with the Titans in a trade to acquire DeAndre Hopkins, whose arrival would push Moore down another spot on the depth chart.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Catchless day again
Skyy Moore didn't record a reception (on two targets) during Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Chargers.Moore could see additional reps at wide receiver moving forward, with the team's two top expected weapons at the position, Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee), likely down for an extended period. However, Moore logged just 13 snaps following Rice's departure Sunday, so there may not be that much upside for the second-year wideout, even with a slightly clearer path to snaps. Xavier Worthy (45), Justin Watson (43) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (32) all played more snaps than Moore, and Noah Gray (32 snaps) may also see additional work if the team elects to run more two-tight end sets moving forward.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Minimal run in Week 2
Skyy Moore logged just five snaps in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.Moore played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, ranking fifth among wideouts in the category. The third-year wideout has clearly fallen behind in the pecking order for playing time at this point and is best left on the waiver wire in nearly all formats, barring multiple injuries at the position that would open up playing time.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Fails to make impact Week 1
Skyy Moore played 10 offensive snaps (19 percent) but was not targeted in the Kansas City Chiefs' 27-20 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.Moore wasn't able to record any offensive statistics in Kansas City's season-opener. Rookie first-round pick Xavier Worthy logging a two-TD debut effectively curtails any lingering hope that Moore will have a late breakout, especially once Marquise Brown (shoulder) manages to get healthy. With Rashee Rice, Worthy and Brown all available, Moore may not end up being active on game days.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Needs to earn spot on roster
Skyy Moore isn't a lock to make the 2024 roster, according to ESPN's Adam Teicher.The 2022 second-round pick has averaged 1.4 catches for 16.5 yards through 30 regular-season games, mostly serving as Kansas City's fourth or fifth wide receiver. It won't be surprising if Moore ends up earning a depth job again, though his fate partially depends on how things play out with the 2024 NFL Draft, Rashee Rice's legal situation, and Kadarius Toney's health, among other factors. Rice and free-agent signing Marquise Brown figure to play a lot when available, though neither can exactly be called reliable. Even so, Moore's lack of playing time and production through two seasons suggests he's not the most likely beneficiary in the event things go south for one of the team's starters. Kansas City seems optimistic about Toney and Justin Watson and might devote an early draft pick to the position.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Logs full practice Wednesday
Skyy Moore (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.After the Kansas City Chiefs activated him from injured reserve earlier in the day, Moore handled every on-field rep after being contained to three limited practices during the first week of Super Bowl LVIII prep. It remains to be seen to what extent the team incorporates Moore into the offense Sunday against the 49ers, but in three of five games before sustaining a swollen knee Week 15, he logged at least a 49 percent snap share.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Comes off IR
The Kansas City Chiefs activated Skyy Moore (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.After designating Moore for return from IR on Jan. 17, the Chiefs had until Wednesday to add him back on the active roster, or his season thus would be over. Now that the transaction has been made, Moore has a chance for his first game action since Week 15 in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII matchup with the 49ers this Sunday. In order to gain active status, Moore likely will need to increase his practice participation this week after he was listed as a limited participant on all three of Kansas City's practice reports last week. Wednesday's upcoming injury report will reveal whether not not Moore is that much closer to being available to the offense again.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Questionable after first week of SB prep
Skyy Moore (knee) was limited at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable after the first week of prep for Super Bowl LVIII against the 49ers.The Kansas City Chiefs placed Moore on injured reserve after Week 15 due to a swollen knee, which so far has sidelined him for six consecutive contests. Because the team designated him for return from IR on Jan. 17, a decision to activate him will need to take place by Wednesday, and there's no telling if he's done enough to get back on the active roster after being listed as limited on all three practice reports this week. If he does, Moore should retain a small role in a Kansas City receiving corps with modest options behind No. 1 Rashee Rice on Sunday, Feb. 11.

Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Listed as limited again
Skyy Moore (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.Moore had the same listing on Wednesday's estimated practice report, after not practicing at all ahead of the AFC Championship Game against Baltimore. The Kansas City Chiefs will need to activate him from injured reserve before next Thursday in order to have the wide receiver available for a part-time role in the Super Bowl against San Francisco. It's unclear if that will happen or not.
