The Chiefs could use 2022 practice squad rules to avoid a roster crunch

On Tuesday, Arrowhead Pride editor-in-chief Pete Sweeney released his initial prediction for the Kansas City Chiefs’ 53-man roster. Pete sees the Chiefs going heavy on offensive weapons — which may force the team to sacrifice depth elsewhere.

In recent seasons, Kansas City’s front office has developed a strong reputation for finding talent — particularly late in the draft and in undrafted free agency. But the downside of such thorough work is losing talented players to the league’s waiver system at the end of training camp. At last season’s roster cutdown, the Chiefs lost cornerback Bopete Keyes — a 2020 seventh-round selection — to the Indianapolis Colts.
