Kansas City opens 2025 with six players on injured reserve or illness, led by Felix Anudike-Uzomah. Rookies Brandon George and Jake Briningstool also miss time, along with Deon Bush, Nazeeh Johnson and Janarius Robinson; Ethan Driskell remains on Reserve/Non-football Illness. KC must navigate roster moves to fill gaps, altering depth and early-season rotations without any of the IR group threatening a Week 1 starting role.

Following the recent NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs are focusing on undrafted free agents, particularly in search of players who can contribute during offseason camps. One promising addition could be Brandon George, a former linebacker from the University of Pittsburgh. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 246 pounds, George showcased impressive athleticism with a 42.5-inch vertical leap and a 4.66-second 40-yard dash at his pro day. He spent six seasons primarily on special teams, accumulating 80 tackles, two sacks, three forced fumbles, an interception, and a fumble recovery in 2024. His success will depend on his work ethic and ability to make plays on special teams.

George's signing adds depth to the Chiefs' roster as they look to build a competitive team. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub's appreciation for hustle and grit makes George a valuable asset. He will need to earn his spot through hard work, but the potential for him to make game-changing plays is evident. The Chiefs' scouting department remains optimistic about their success with George and other undrafted players as they prepare for the upcoming season.
