In my opinion, the first five wide receivers are set - and have been for a couple of weeks. Wide receivers (6): JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Daurice Fountain Reid can’t quit the fullback! You know this. Stay tuned.Īfter breaking his thumb - and signing an injury settlement - Derrick Gore is a free agent, and I suspect he will be back on the Chiefs’ practice squad once he is healed up. Not helping Jones is the fact that rookie Isiah Pacheco showed out with the backup offensive line, with whom Jones struggled with in earlier preseason games. Reid’s telling us that he appreciates Jones, but his “down the road” - in my mind - signifies that in the coming days, the Chiefs will likely be trying to trade him for a Day 3 pick. And shoot, I don’t think he did anything to hurt himself in our eyes, whatever happens to him down the road here. “I thought RoJo (Ronald Jones) ran hard,” said head coach Andy Reid after the game. No change in the running back room from projection 2.0 - even though Ronald Jones rushed for 43 yards in the preseason finale. Running backs (3): Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, Isiah Pacheco The change-of-guard won’t happen this year because Chad Henne comes with a more-than-$3 million cap penalty - but my way-too-early prediction is that the Chiefs make the move to Buechele as the backup in 2023. When faced with that decision in 2021 - as the Arizona Cardinals tried to poach him - the Chiefs added him to the 53 to keep him on the roster. My first two iterations of the Chiefs’ 53-man roster did not include Shane Buechele - but something tells me that after he put together a 166-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Packers, the Chiefs know that if they don’t keep him, he will be claimed elsewhere.

The Chiefs’ roster currently stands at 80 players, but it will need to be cut down to 53 by Tuesday, August 30. The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their preseason on Thursday night with a 17-10 win over the Green Bay Packers.
