Hayek (shoulder) reverted to the Chiefs' injured reserve Thursday after going unclaimed off waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hayek signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Villanova in May. He has been held out of practices and preseason games since sustaining a shoulder injury in early August. Hayek will now be forced to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless he is waived with an injury settlement by Kansas City.
