Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins underwent an MRI after dealing with pain in his foot following Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While the injury's not considered to be serious, it could affect his status for Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Watkins was bothered by the injury in the Chiefs' 37-21 victory, but he was able to finish the game after leaving for a short time in the fourth quarter to get taped. He recorded five receptions for 62 yards in the contest.

The five-year veteran has been impacted by various foot injuries throughout his career but has played every game this season after signing a three-year, $48-million contract with the Chiefs in March. He has 39 catches for 515 yards and three touchdowns while operating as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill.
