Chad Williams is the newest addition to the Chiefs practice squad.

On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs added a new face to the practice squad in Chad Williams, a wide receiver who played for the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts in previous stints since being drafted in 2017.

Given that the Chiefs released wide receiver Kalija Lipscomb, a promising rookie free agent to whom the Chiefs gave a decent signing bonus, it’s worth asking why the Chiefs would give up on him so quickly—or what they might see in Williams instead.
