Chiefs could have an issue on their hands as they approach the Jags

The Kansas City Chiefs could be in some trouble against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.
I think a lot of people are sleeping on just how good the Jaguars are. And, I know why.
This is a team that won just a few games last year. They are a historically bad franchise. Oh, and their record is 3-6, just to name a few.
But, they have a good offense and a great defense. So, I wouldn't be sleeping on them if I was on any team.
In fact, we just saw them come back from a 17-point deficit against the Las Vegas Raiders last week. So, as I said, I wouldn't think this will just be an easy win.
It doesn't help that the Chiefs will be without some key players, too.
Wide receiver Mecole Hardman has missed practice all week thus far, as he has been dealing with an abdomen injury. Hardman has been one of the key pieces to the Chiefs' offense, especially when in the red zone. He has four touchdowns on his last nine touches.
Starting cornerback, and the best cornerback on the team, L'Jarius Sneed was also limited on Thursday as he deals with a knee issue. What makes Sneed's situation interesting is he was a full participant on Wednesday. That could either mean limited reps on Thursday in order to avoid re-aggravating something/possibly making something worse, or, it could be workload management strategy.
Either way, Sneed's Friday status -and likely his game day status- are things to monitor.
The Chiefs will need both of these guys on Sunday, especially if they want to make sure the game isn't very close.
