This coming Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs will have to have their roster down to 53 players.

So when reporters met with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and special teams coordinator Dave Toub on Tuesday, they wanted to know which new Chiefs players will make the final cut.
“Everybody needs to have a good showing,” declared Toub of Friday’s game.
