Chiefs’ initial 53-man roster for 2021 revealed after cuts

The Kansas City Chiefs have made their cuts to get the team’s active roster down to 53 players before the NFL’s deadline. The roster — at its initial writing — includes a total of 52 players.

It’s very likely that this will not be the exact roster that will begin the season against the Cleveland Browns a week from Sunday. During the coming days, some players will likely be removed in order to make room for other Chiefs players who were previously removed — or players from other teams who are now available. This is just the starting point for 2021.
