The Chiefs went onto a 34-20 victory in Wylie’s absence. Questions about his health status remained at game’s end.
Wylie, a third-year pro, has started 23 game for the Chiefs since 2018. The Chiefs started veteran guard Mike Remmers in his absence.
Remmers, 31, was a full-time starter for the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers over the previous five seasons.
