KANSAS CITY CHIEFS NEWS

DeAndre Hopkins - Not on injury report Hopkins (lower leg) isn't listed on the Chiefs' Week 8 injury report.

Impact In his first practice with the Chiefs, Hopkins (who arrived via a trade with the Titans that became official Thursday) worked without restriction, signalling that he's past the lower leg soreness he had coming out Week 7 action. Though he'll only practice with his new team twice before Sunday's game against the Raiders, Hopkins has a chance to play this weekend, with Adam Teicher of ESPN relaying that coach Andy Reid is open to the idea of using the veteran wideout right away, with Reid noting on that subject Friday, "why wait?"

Kareem Hunt - Practices fully Thursday Hunt (hip) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Hunt was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but his return to a full session one day later paves the way for him to continue to lead the Chiefs' backfield Sunday against the Raiders. In this past weekend's 28-18 win over the 49ers, Hunt carried 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in both of his targets for five yards. With 49 carries over his last two contests, Hunt looks like a fantasy-friendly option once again in Week 8, considering the volume he's seeing in Kansas City's offense.

Skyy Moore - Lands on IR Moore has been placed on IR due to a core muscle injury.

Impact Moore joins fellow WRs Hollywood Brown (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (knee) on IR, with the move occurring on the same day that DeAndre Hopkins officially joined the Chiefs. The soonest Moore can return to game action is Nov. 24 against the Panthers. Prior to his placement on IR, the 2022 second-rounder did not record a catch on three targets in six games.

DeAndre Hopkins - Trade to Kansas City official The trade sending Hopkins (lower leg) from the Titans to the Chiefs was made official Thursday after the wideout passed his physical with his new team, Adam Schefter of ESPN report...

Impact As Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site points out, two areas where the addition of Hopkins should make the team better are in the red zone and on third downs. On Monday, Tennessee coach Brian Callahan said that the veteran wideout was dealing with some lower leg soreness during Week 7 action, so it remains to be seen if Hopkins will be listed as a full participant in his upcoming first practice with the Chiefs, who face the Raiders on the road Sunday.

Hollywood Brown - Making progress but won't return soon Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Brown (shoulder) is "on scheduled, or a little but ahead" in his recovery from September surgery, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reid cautioned that it's "going to be a while" but noted that Brown is a "relentless worker" who seems to be doing well. Reports around the time of the surgery suggested Brown was unlikely to play in the regular season, with any shot to return dependent on the Chiefs making a(nother) playoff run. The team's WR corps has changed considerably since that time, first losing Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury and then adding DeAndre Hopkins via trade. Brown and Rice both were at the team's training facility Wednesday.

Kareem Hunt - Logs limited practice Hunt (hip) was listed as limited in what Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com described as a quick and light practice Wednesday.

Impact Hunt recorded 45 snaps in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers en route to carrying 22 times for 78 yards and two touchdowns while catching both of his targets for five yards. With no reported setbacks in the contest, it's possible that Hunt's listed limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related, but the running back will probably need to practice fully by Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Raiders without an injury designation.

Impact Per Rappaport, the Titans are slated to absorb $2.5 million of Hopkins' salary as part of the deal. Hopkins was reported to be dealing with some lower leg soreness coming out of Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Bills, but that's presumably a minor concern, and if that's the case, he could debut with Kansas City as soon as Sunday against the Raiders. In any case, the looming addition of Hopkins could provide a major lift to a wideout corps that's been hit hard by injuries this season, and once the 32-year-old is up to speed with his new team's offense, he'll have an opportunity to emerge as one of QB Patrick Mahomes' top pass-catching options.

DeAndre Hopkins - Headed to Kansas City The Titans agreed to trade Hopkins (lower leg) to the Chiefs on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per Rapoport, the Titans will absorb $2.5 million of Hopkins' salary as part of the deal, and the fifth-round pick will become a fourth-round choice if Kansas City makes the Super Bowl and if the wideout plays 60 percent of the team's snaps. Hopkins was reported to be dealing with some lower leg soreness coming out of Tennessee's Week 7 loss to the Bills, but that's presumably a minor concern. If that's the case, Hopkins could debut with Kansas City as soon as Sunday against the Raiders. The addition of Hopkins could provide a major lift to a wideout corps that's been hit hard by injuries this season, and once the 32-year-old is up to speed with his new team's offense, he'll have an opportunity to emerge as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top pass-catching options.

Carson Wentz - Makes team debut Wentz played one of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

Impact Signed to a one-year, $3.33 million contract in April, Wentz emerged from the preseason as the winner of the competition for the backup role behind starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Wentz got the chance to make his Chiefs debut in the second quarter, when head coach Andy Reid dialed up a unique two-quarterback formation near the goal line featuring both Mahomes and Wentz. Wentz took the snap and handed the ball off to Kareem Hunt, who was stopped at the one-yard line.

Jody Fortson - Draws target in win Fortson failed to corral his lone target while playing 10 of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

Impact Fortson was active for a second game in a row after he was promoted from the practice squad earlier this month. He's operated as the third or fourth tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray in those two games, drawing one target in both of those contests.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Jared Wiley - One catch through six games Wiley played 10 of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.

Impact The fourth-round rookie out of TCU has suited up in each of the Chiefs' first six games but has just one reception to his name. While Travis Kelce and Noah Gray both remain healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart at tight end, Wiley won't have much opportunity to see involvement in the passing game.
