The Chiefs backline is pretty banged up

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports LeSean McCoy's (ankle) MRI showed no significant damage.
He has a "shot" to play in Sunday's Week 3 showdown against the Ravens. With Damien Williams (groin) also on the mend, rookie Darwin Thompson could be handed a few more touches than usual. McCoy will garner RB3/FLEX status if he's active.

DAMIEN WILLIAMS
RB,
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Damien Williams rushed nine times for eight yards in the Chiefs' Week 2 win over the Raiders, adding three receptions for 48 additional yards.
Williams and the Chiefs' running game in general couldn't get much of anything going Sunday, totaling just 31 yards on 22 rush attempts. Williams continued to flash a solid receiving floor, but he suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter and didn't return. The extent of the injury is unclear at this time. We'd expect LeSean McCoy to work as the starter if Williams ultimately misses time, with Darwin Thompson also seeing plenty of snaps. The Chiefs take on the Ravens in Week 3.

We should be able to take advantage of that and make them one dimensional. That one dimension is scary but should be easier to defend, like what happened in Oakland last week.
