Jared PettusAug 28, 2024Kansas City Chiefs

(Kansas City, MO) The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing the Week 1 roster this week with a handful of roster moves. Most notably the Chiefs bring back wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Smith-Schuster was cut by the New England Patriots one year into a three-year contract signed in 2023. He returns to Kansas City where he won a Super Bowl in 2022.

The Chiefs made roster cuts to get to the 53-player limit. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney was among the players released on Tuesday. Kansas City released wide receiver Justyn Ross and running back Louis Rees-Zammit.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, added another tight end to the roster, acquiring Peyton Hendershot from the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick. They also received defensive end Cameron Thomas from Arizona for a 2025 seventh-round pick.
