Kansas City Chiefs’ full 53-man roster revealed after roste

r cuts The Kansas City Chiefs have made their cuts to get the roster down to 53 players. To do so Khalen Saunders white jersey , they kept three quarterbacks, five running backs, six wide receivers, two tight ends, nine offensive linemen, six defensive linemen, nine linebackers, 10 defensive backs and three specialists. The biggest surprise cut of the day was cornerback David Amerson, who the Chiefs signed this offseason to compete for a starting position. The Chiefs also opted for Matt McGloin over Chase Litton in that third cornerback role. Safety Ron Parker has reportedly returned to the team but is not listed on the initial 53-man roster. Here is the Chiefs’ 53-man roster to begin 2018:QB (3): Patrick Mahomes, Chad Henne, Matt McGloinThe Chiefs opt to keep Matt McGloin over Chase Litton as their third quarterback after McGloin had a great showing in the Chiefs’ final preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. McGloin’s regular-season game experience—13 games and seven starts—likely tipped the scale for the Chiefs. Perhaps Andy Reid keeps Chase Litton on the team’s practice squad.RB (5): Kareem Hunt, Spencer Ware, Damien Williams, Darrel Williams, Anthony ShermanThe one real question mark in the running back position group was whether or not the Chiefs would keep undrafted rookie Darrel Williams. They liked what they saw in Williams enough to keep him on the 53-man roster.WR (6): Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Chris Conley, Demarcus Robinson, De’Anthony Thomas, Marcus KempThe Chiefs held onto De’Anthony Thomas, who special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Dave Toub loves. Marcus Kemp gets the sixth spot Khalen Saunders Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , beating out former Chiefs fourth-rounder Jehu Chesson and Gehrig Dieter.TE (2): Travis Kelce, Alex EllisDemetrius Harris is suspended for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, so he starts the season on the suspended list. We thought the Chiefs may keep an extra tight end because of the suspension, but it appears the Chiefs will forego that thought and keep just two tight ends for a week.OL (9): Eric Fisher, Cam Erving, Mitch Morse, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Mitch Schwartz, Andrew Wylie, Bryan Witzmann, Jordan Devey, and Kahlil McKenzieThe Chiefs kept nine offensive linemen, and they must have felt like they needed to in order to protect long-term offensive line project Kahlil McKenzie. Putting McKenzie on the practice squad would have made him eligible to be signed by any other team. Andrew Wylie makes the team in the “Zach Fulton” honorary sixth-man position, with Witzmann and Devey providing more depth.DL (6): Chris Jones, Allen Bailey, Xavier Williams, Jarvis Jenkins, Derrick Nnadi, Justin HamiltonAfter a gritty preseason, Justin Hamilton cracks the Chiefs’ 53-man roster. He’s about the only surprise in this group.LB (9): Justin Houston, Dee Ford Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , Tanoh Kpassagnon, Breeland Speaks (outside), Reggie Ragland, Anthony Hitchens, Ben Niemann, Dorian O’ Daniel, Terrance Smith (inside)After five years with the Chiefs, Frank Zombo was released, meaning the Chiefs must feel comfortable outside with what they have in Houston, Ford and the kids. Terrance Smith over Eligwe is a bit of a surprise, and good on Ben Niemann for making the team after a great showing this preseason. Niemann is your new No. 56. DB (10): Kendall Fuller, Steve Nelson, Orlando Scandrick, Tremon Smith, Charvarius Ward (cornerbacks), Eric Berry, Armani Watts, Eric Murray, Jordan Lucas, Daniel Sorensen (safeties for now)I anticipate there could be an upcoming roster move where Sorensen is put on Injured Reserve for Parker, but that remains to be seen. The Chiefs must not have liked Arrion Springs as much as we figured because they signed Scandrick and preferred to trade for Ward rather than giving Springs a shot. Specialists (3): Harrison Butker Khalen Saunders black jersey , Dustin Colquitt, James WinchesterAs expected.Reserve-Suspended List (1): TE Demetrius HarrisInjured Reserve (1): WR Byron Pringle Mahomes told the media he’s tried to "no-look" receivers twice... so far.

He is also trying out the Oakley visor.CDTShareTweetShareSharePatrick Mahomes has attempted two no-look passes through one week of OTAsDenny Medley-USA TODAY SportsI don’t know about you, but I have grown tired of the Patrick Mahomes loving ketchup story; I will never grow tired of the Patrick Mahomes no-look passes story.No-look passes were back on the mind of Kansas City Chiefs’ fans this week when cornerback Kendall Fuller tweeted from what sounded like the team’s film room.Mahomes was asked about the tweet and pass on Thursday after the Chiefs’ open OTAs session.“I’ve done two so far — one was the Kendall (Fuller) [pass] — it wasn’t a big one, just kind of looked him off and then threw it kind of behind him, and then one I did on a little RPO, run-pass-option play, but it’s not something I really try to do—it just kind of happens sometimes.”The first time it happened in an NFL game was last year against the Baltimore Ravens. Mahomes later described how he pulled off such a play to NBC Sports’ Peter King. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has said in the past that Mahomes practices everything he does in games — Fuller’s tweet and Mahomes’ comments affirm that point.Mahomes, the consummate teammate, was sure to tell the media that Fuller responded the following day with an interception. “Kendall got me the next day—I gave him a present, so I don’t plan on giving him any more after that.”The visorIf no-look passes weren’t enough, it is worth noting that Mahomes was wearing a visor during OTA workouts—a move that would make reading his eyes even tougher for opposing defenders.The Twitter account, “Helmet Stalker” noted that the piece of equipment is a clear Oakley Prizm visor, which we first saw Mahomes wear in this advertisement. Mahomes became Oakley’s first ever football partner earlier this year. He was asked about the visor on Thursday after practice.“We’re trying it out—I definitely like it,” he said. “I’ve liked it these last couple of days, so we’re going to keep trying it out, and hopefully I keep playing good in it. I’m pretty superstitious, so if I’m playing well with it I’ll keep it going.”The NFL disallows players wearing tinted visors unless it is medically required. Safety Eric Berry had to change his out in the middle of the game last year against the Los Angeles Chargers.Mahomes’ visor appears to be clear — which means we could indeed see the change for the 2019 season.
