People think Watson's injury may open a spot for him and honestly I just don't think so.
Even if Watson misses the first 3-4 weeks of the season, I think the Chiefs may just carry 5 WRs for that stretch. Maybe they carry 6 and that STILL won't get him on the roster even without Watson. I think that puts Remigio on the team (and Toney) but not Moore.
I don't actually believe he's behind Ross. I can't get there. I just have never seen anything from Ross to suggest to me that he's an NFL player and in the case of ties, I still think the draft capital keeps Moore ahead of Ross.
But I think he's 8th on the depth chart right now. If Watson is out for a bit, that moves him to 7. They're not carrying 7 WRs if Watson is hurt. They might carry 7 if Watson is healthy (in which case Moore is still 8) but without Watson, they'll carry someone else that can cover his STs duties and that AIN'T Skyy Moore. They'll carry (maybe) 6, Remigio may make the team and they'll keep one of the LBers who can play specials.
Watson's injury doesn't help him a bit, IMO.
I just don't think Moore will be able to back onto the team. If this team loses 3 WRs they'll just turn to cuts and grab another one. He's going to have to progress a great deal and stand out when the pads come on or he's gone, regardless of what injuries happen around him, IMO.
