By Michael Luciano
After signing a massive three-year contract that made him the highest paid wide receiver in the league, the first game of the 2019 season hasn't gone according to plan for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
During the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hill was taken to the locker room with what has been termed a shoulder injury.

Losing a Pro Bowl receiver with his type of speed is going to be a code red situation for Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs, but losing him after signing his massive contract extension is extremely disheartening. Of course we don't know the extent of the injury, so no point in assuming anything. But we'll update this story as soon as more information becomes available.
