The Kansas City Chiefs have undergone several roster adjustments and player health developments. Following a bye week, the team signed former wide receiver Justin Watson to the practice squad, citing his familiarity with the offense. This move coincided with placing wide receiver Tyquan Thornton on the Reserve/Injured list due to a dislocated ankle and signing linebacker Cam Jones to the active roster.

Additionally, wide receiver Rashee Rice has returned to practice after being sidelined for two games due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4. His return follows a period of diminished passing production for the team during his absence.
