Kansas City Chiefs final 2025 53-man roster projection | ESPN
WIDE RECEIVERS (6): Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Jalen Royals, Tyquan Thornton.
At some point, Rice is expected to be suspended by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy. But it’s unclear if Rice and the league will settle their disagreement on the length of his suspension before Sept. 30, the day he is scheduled to have his disciplinary hearing with the league. Rice’s inclusion in the start of the season means the Chiefs keep six receivers and hope to sign Nikko Remigio to the practice squad.
The Chiefs offense impressed a lot of people last night
The Chiefs’ starters go nuclear, prove they’re ready for Week 1
If the first quarter is any indication of what we’re getting from the starting offense and defense this season, there are going to be a lot of national analysts retracting their takes on the Chiefs in the coming weeks. The offense was practically flawless through one quarter, picking up 12 first downs, committing no penalties, with 193 net yards and 10 points scored. Patrick Mahomes averaged over 11 yards per passing attempt. Tyquan Thornton caught a 58-yard bomb. Trey Smith was collecting bodies. It was a sight to behold.
The defense wasn’t half bad either, holding the Bears’ starting offense to 26 total yards, for an average of 2.9 yards per play. They managed a sack, forced two punts, and forced a false start penalty. Needless to say, if these two units play this well simultaneously during the regular season, this is going to be a tough football team to beat.
