Kansas City kept eight wide receivers on the initial 53, signaling a pass‑heavy plan that prioritizes versatility and upside at the position. Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith‑Schuster, Skyy Moore, Xavier Worthy, and Kadarius Toney anchor a deep group, with Elijah Mitchell and dynamic veterans like Robert Tonyan and Mike Edwards in supporting roles. The Chiefs also discussed bringing back certain veterans and using waiver and trade avenues to refine the roster before Week 1.
