By 3 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs must cut 38 players from their 90-man active roster in order to get it down to the in-season limit of 53 players.

The team will eventually release a complete list of all of its moves — but until then, news about some of them will trickle out. Here, we’ll track all the roster moves Kansas City is reported to have made.

With each new report, we’re also updating our Chiefs roster page, so you can easily see how many players are left in each position group.

How roster changes...

The Kansas City Chiefs lost their preseason finale against the Chicago Bears 29-27 on Friday night, but the Chiefs’ starters looked sound.

The starting offense played for three drives, scoring three times and looking like a finely tuned machine.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 143 yards and a touchdown, while running back Isaiah Pacheco ran for 21 yards on only three handoffs and a touchdown.

The offense was as efficient as it could be — and in large part, this was due to the performance of the offensive line.

The unit has had a microscope on it ever since the...

Before we know it, the 2025 NFL season will be underway. The Kansas City Chiefs will have the opportunity to compete for another Lombardi Trophy as they make their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance — something that has only been done only once before: by the Buffalo Bills after the 1990 through 1993 seasons.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, The Chiefs now have the fourth-best odds to win the big game at +800. The Baltimore Ravens have the best odds at +650, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles +700 and the Bills at +750.

Behind the Chiefs are the Detroit Lions at...

Final Chiefs 53-man roster projection: Why surprises (and trades) could be ahead | The Athletic

Receivers (7)

In: Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio

Notable cut: Jason Brownlee

The top six guys became clear as the preseason progressed. Remigio, meanwhile, gets elevated in this final projection after some good moments as a receiver in Friday’s preseason finale. Roster cut day can be all about trying to keep as many assets as possible, and Remigio was cut last year and cleared waivers before joining the...

On Sunday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that the Kansas City Chiefs are re-acquiring defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi through a minor trade with the New York Jets.

According to Fowler, the trade is centered around a conditional swap of 2027 sixth and seventh round selections. Should criteria of the trade be met, we presume the Chiefs will have acquired Nnadi and the Jets’ 2027 seventh- rounder in return for their 2027 sixth-round pick.

The Chiefs just made a similar deal with wide receiver Skyy Moore, sending him and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for their...

The Kansas City Chiefs have finished their preseason with a 29-27 loss to the Chicago Bears. By 3 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on Tuesday, they — and the rest of the NFL’s teams — must have their roster down to 53 players.

As always, we do our best to predict what the team will do — but it’s a fool’s erraad. There is almost no chance this will match the team’s first 53-man roster — and it is absolutely impossible to predict what will happen in the few days after that, when just-released players start being signed to new teams.

Your Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their preseason at Arrowhead, and it was about as good as you could ask for in a loss. The first team offense was sharp, new guys got valuable reps and they avoided injuries.

The Chiefs’ goal this season is to protect Patrick Mahomes better and take more shots down the field, bringing the fun back to the offense. Well, the mission was accomplished in the first quarter. The first team put up 193 yards and 10 points. The defense tackled well, pressured the passer and got off the field.

It was a perfect tune-up...

That’s a wrap on the preseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs started fast against the Chicago Bears on Friday night. When quarterback Patrick Mahomes and company were on the field**, the offense was firing on all cylinders. Once the starters were on the sidelines in the second half, things shifted a bit. In the end, the Bears found a way to chip their way back and score the game-winning touchdown with seconds remaining, defeating the Chiefs 29-27.

*The most important thing is that the team escaped healthy — and will be ready to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week...

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...

Although Friday night’s last-second touchdown gave the Kansas City Chiefs a 29-27 loss to the Chicago Bears, there were plenty of positives to take away from the team’s final preseason game.

Most importantly, head coach Andy Reid reported no injuries from the matchup. It was also encouraging that the team’s offense looked ready for the season. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes stayed and the rest of the offensive starters stayed on the field for the Chiefs’ first three drives, scoring 17 points and totaling 197 yards. Mahomes completed a 58-yard pass to wideout Tyquan Thornton and a 20-yard throw to tight end...

On a last-second play, the Chicago Bears defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 29-27 on Friday night, dropping the Chiefs to 0-3 for the 2025 preseason. But that’s not what we’ll remember about the preseason finale.

Now, that’s what we needed to see in the pass protection!

The No. 1 story surrounding the Chiefs since their disastrous performance in Super Bowl LIX has been the state of their offensive line. Similar to how general manager Brett Veach rebuilt the line following Kansas City’s Super Bowl LV loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he made several key moves this offseason, hoping...

In Friday night’s preseason finale, the Kansas City Chiefs collected a 29—27 loss to the Chicago Bears on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Hope we can get the lines both some good snaps tonight. These three snap games aren’t helping these units thrive much. Even if Mahomes is limited, KS and others should get a full half. I worry about the first game if they don’t.
