Chiefs Bring Practice Squad Depth | Kansas City Chiefs News

The Chiefs are making strategic moves ahead of their season opener against Denver, elevating practice squad defensive tackle Marcus Harris and fullback Ben VanSumeren to fill gaps caused by injuries. Harris, previously waived and re-signed to the practice squad, returns to the roster, while VanSumeren — a fourth-year player who switched from linebacker to fullback after stints with the Eagles and Bills — could be the first true fullback on the field since Michael Burton in 2022. With key players Josh Simmons and Chamarri Conner sidelined, the team is leaning on depth, but there’s good news: Chris Jones, who missed time with a calf injury, has been cleared to play. The Chiefs are juggling roster changes and injuries as they prepare for a crucial Monday night showdown. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
