Wanya Morris - Re-tweaked same injured knee Coach Andy Reid said Morris re-tweaked the same knee in Thursday night's preseason loss to the Bears that had been bothering him previously, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com repo...
Impact "He's going to be OK, give him some time here to rest up. He was doing a nice job when he had the opportunity there," said Reid. Morris had previously been diagnosed with a bone bruise in the knee two weeks ago. He's competing for swing tackle duties in Kansas City behind second-round rookie LT Kingsley Suamataia and RT Jawaan Taylor.

Jared Wiley - One grab in preseason finale Wiley secured one of two targets for three yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Impact The rookie fourth-round pick finished off the preseason in quiet fashion, matching fellow reserve tight end Irv Smith's reception and yardage totals. Wiley and Smith could potentially both make the Chiefs' roster if the team decides to go four deep at the position.

Mecole Hardman - One catch in preseason finale Hardman brought in his only target for six yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Impact The Super Bowl hero played a minor role in the exhibition finale, and it remains to be seen if there will be room for Hardman on the Chiefs' initial 53-man roster. Hardman could be no better than the No. 7 receiver on the depth chart as it currently stands, even when factoring in Marquise Brown's shoulder injury. Hardman also offers value as a returner, but there are other candidates with similar skill sets on Kansas City's deep wideout room.

Kadarius Toney - 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.

Deneric Prince - Minor contributions in loss Prince rushed three times for minus-1 yard and brought in his only target for three yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Impact Prince saw both Carson Steele and Keaontay Ingram -- the latter his primary competition for a reserve running back role -- fill larger roles in the preseason finale. Prince appeared in two regular-season games as an undrafted rookie in 2023, but it remains to be seen if he'll be deemed worthy of a roster spot again this season, especially after such a lackluster finish to the exhibition slate.

Carson Steele - Leads Chiefs in rushing Thursday Steele rushed four times for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Impact The undrafted UCLA product got a nice chunk if his team-high rushing yardage total on a 31-yard scamper, but he was impressively efficient overall with his few opportunities. Steele is listed as a fullback on the Chiefs' unofficial preseason depth chart, but he's looked good with the ball in his hand this preseason and has arguably made a case for a 53-man roster spot, especially with no other player listed at his position. Nevertheless, Kansas City's ground game will naturally be dominated by Isiah Pacheco come the regular season, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and Deneric Prince likely also in the mix for complementary snaps.

Wanya Morris - Won't return Thursday Morris has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's preseason game against Chicago due to a right knee injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Morris sustained the injury on a failed fourth-down attempt in the first quarter. He was able to walk to the locker room under his own power, but he will not return Thursday. The 2023 third-round tackle is slated to serve in a backup role on the Chiefs' offensive line.

Creed Humphrey - Agrees to four-year extension Humphrey signed a four-year, $72 million extension -- including $50 million guaranteed -- with the Chiefs on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Since being drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Humphrey has started at center in every single game for the Chiefs over the past three seasons. The four-year extension ensures that Humphrey will continue to serve as Kansas City's anchor in the middle the offensive line.

Jaaron Hayek - Goes on IR Hayek (shoulder) reverted to the Chiefs' reserve/injured list Thursday after going unclaimed off waivers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Hayek signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Villanova in May. He has been held out of practices and preseason games since sustaining a shoulder injury in early August. Hayek will now be forced to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless he is waived with an injury settlement by Kansas City.

Isiah Pacheco - Not expected to play Thursday Pacheco is among the Chiefs' key skill players not likely to see action in Thursday's preseason finale against the Bears, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The same applies to QB Patrick Mahomes, fellow RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, WRs Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson, as well as TEs Travis Kelce and Noah Gray. As Week 1 approaches, Pacheco is entrenched as Kansas City's lead back, so Thursday's contest should provide Deneric Prince, Carson Steele, Keaontay Ingram, Louis Rees-Zammit and Emani Bailey with opportunities to support their cases for depth slotting in the team's backfield.
