McDonald will now be forced to miss at least four games after sustaining a knee injury during Monday's win over the Broncos. Ashton Gillotte, R Mason Thomas and Jack Pyburn should be in line for increased playing time in McDonald's absence.

McDonald sustained a knee injury during Monday's game against the Broncos and is questionable to return.
The linebacker made one tackle before exiting. McDonald played far more on special teams than defense a year ago and is likely to fill a similar role for Kansas City this year.
