Waived by Kansas City The Chiefs are slated to waive Toney on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Toney's arrow appeared to be pointing up back in 2022, when he was traded to Kansas City by the Giants mid-season and made some key plays in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVII win, but across 13 regular-season appearances in 2023 he was mistake-prone and inconsistent, totaling just a 27-169-1 receiving line. Kansas City's recent addition of JuJu Smith-Schuster, who also played for the team in 2022, seems to have made Toney's roster spot fully redundant as the team cuts down to 53 players. The 2021 first-round pick got some work out of the backfield and on special teams in training camp, and he boasts enough talent that another club could claim him off waivers.

Solid in exhibition finale Toney secured two of three targets for 26 yards and returned one punt for 16 yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

Impact Toney has had a quiet preseason partly due to a back injury, but he turned in a solid performance relative to opportunity Thursday. The 2021 first-round pick of the Giants is looking for a reset of sorts as he heads into his second full season in Kansas City, after suffering through an inconsistent and mistake-laden 2023 campaign that also saw him besieged by multiple injuries. Whether he's done enough to hold on to a roster spot remains to seen given the Chiefs' refurbishing of the receiving corps this offseason, but Marquise Brown's shoulder injury could buy Toney some early-season time in a best-case scenario.

Back at practice Toney (back) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact Toney didn't play in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, but his return to the field Monday could pave the way for him to see action this weekend against the Lions. Now that he's back in the mix, Toney will look to secure a depth role in a WR corps that could potentially be without projected starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) come Week 1.

Not playing vs. Jacksonvile Toney (back) was not seen in pregame warmups for the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Toney has battled separate ankle and back injuries during training camp, and the 2021 first-round pick will be held out of Saturday's preseason tilt. He may get some reps in Kansas City's second preseason game against Detroit on Aug. 17, if healthy. Toney is competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and he's also been utilized out of the backfield and on special teams as a returner during training camp.

Bothered by back tightness Toney missed practice Wednesday due to back tightness, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

Impact The oft-injured wide receiver previously missed a few training-camp practices with an ankle injury but mostly has been available this summer. Toney is competing for a depth role and also figures to get a look as a return man.

Back on the field Toney (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Toney left practice last Wednesday with an ankle injury, but the 2021 first-rounder's return to the field Monday bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars. Toney is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he caught 27 of his 38 targets for 169 yards and a TD to go along with 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 contests. While Toney still has a chance to claim a role in the Chiefs' re-tooled wideout corps in 2024, at this stage Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy profile as the team's most fantasy-relevant options at the position.

Suffers ankle injury Toney left Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2021 first-round pick has a lengthy history of lower-body injuries, which is part of why he's probably competing for return work more so than a regular role on offense at this stage of his career. The Chiefs probably still have something in mind for Toney off the bench, but he's unlikely to get enough snaps for mainstream fantasy value even if the injury turns out be minor and he returns to practice fairly soon.
