Report: Shane Buechele gets call to Chiefs’ 53-man roster

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Shane Buechele will be added to the team’s 53-man roster on Tuesday, according to SiriusXM NFL insider Adam Caplan and confirmed by ESPN’s Field Yates.

The Chiefs are signing QB Shane Buechele from their practice squad to the 53-man roster, as @caplannfl said.

The reason? The Cardinals attempted to sign Buechele to their active roster, per source. Both Kyler Murray and Colt McCoy are currently dealing with injuries.— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 16, 2021

Yates added that the reason the Chiefs needed to make the roster move is that the Arizona Cardinals are dealing with injuries to their quarterback position — and were attempting to sign Buechele to their active roster.
