BJ Thompson - Will miss some time Thompson (undisclosed) was moved to the reserve/NFI list Tuesday.
Samaje Perine - Intriguing landing spot with Chiefs Perine is slated to sign with Kansas City on Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Impact Perine, who was released as one of Denver's roster cuts Tuesday, is a proven pass-catcher and now lands in what projects to be one of the NFL's top-scoring offenses. Isiah Pacheco is firmly established atop the Chiefs' depth chart, but Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and Carson Steele are surmountable competition for a depth role. Perine secured a career-high 50of 56 passes for 455 yards across 17 regular-season games with the Broncos last season, in addition to 53 carries for 238 rushing yards and one score.

Carson Steele - Earns spot on initial roster Steele has a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 225-pound undrafted rookie was a preseason standout, taking 11 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns. The Chiefs list him at fullback on their depth chart -- and coach Andy Reid mentioned the possibility of using him in that role -- but Steele mostly lined up as a lone running back during the preseason. There's potential to earn snaps and touches early on, as Kansas City has a weak group of running backs beyond Isiah Pacheco and could do some shuffling in the coming days to work out the other backup spots.

Peyton Hendershot - Traded to KC The Cowboys are trading Hendershot to the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact It was previously reported that Dallas was waiving the tight end, but the Chiefs apparently were interested and made a small offer to ensure he wouldn't land with a team that had higher waiver priority. Hendershot now slots in at the bottom of Kansas City's depth chart, potentially competing with rookie Jared Wiley for the No. 3 TE role.

Charles Omenihu - Starting season on PUP list The Chiefs placed Omenihu (knee) on reserve/PUP Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Omenihu missed all of training camp as he continues his rehab from a torn ACL suffered in the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens last postseason. His placement on PUP knocks Omenihu out for at least the first four games of the season. George Karlaftis and Chris Jones will key Kansas City's pass rush while Omenihu gets healthy.

Louis Rees-Zammit - Sustains back injury Rees-Zammit left Monday's practice with a back issue, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact The former rugby star is likely fighting for a depth role on the Chiefs' 53-man roster, so this injury could hurt his chances of making it past cut-down day. Expect Mecole Hardman and Nikko Remigio to see even more reps returning kicks with Rees-Zammit sidelined.

Hollywood Brown - Not practicing yet Brown (shoulder) was present at Monday's practice but didn't participate, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Watching from the sideline might be interpreted as a step in the right direction, but Brown remains uncertain for Week 1 after suffering a sternoclavicular injury Aug. 10 in Kansas City's preseason opener. Reports at the time suggested he'd likely be out 4-6 weeks, hinting at a return at some point in September if not in time for Week 1. With Brown unavailable, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson got most of the first-team snaps at wide receiver alongside Rashee Rice in the Chiefs' second preseason game. The team recently added JuJu Smith-Schuster for depth, but he'll have an uphill battle to earn playing time even if Brown misses a game or two at the beginning of the regular season.

JuJu Smith-Schuster - Joining Kansas City Smith-Schuster is signing with the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kansas City was his first stop after a five-year stint in Pittsburgh, with Smith-Schuster catching 78 of 101 targets for 933 yards and three TDs in 16 regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2022. He had only 89 yards in three playoff appearances in that year, and then managed only 260 yards in 11 games last season after signing a three-year contract with the Patriots. Released by New England after a couple weeks of training camp, the 27-year-old will now try to re-establish himself in Kansas City, where he'll likely start off in a depth role and may even have to prove he's worthy of a spot on the 53-man roster.
