The Kansas City Chiefs updated their 53-man active roster following the league-mandated cut deadline. The front office claimed defensive linemen Bryson Eason and Jack Pyburn off the waiver wire. To accommodate the additions, the team waived defensive lineman Marcus Harris and defensive back Kevin Knowles. These transactions occurred as general manager Brett Veach looks to refine the roster ahead of the upcoming NFL season. Players who clear waivers without being claimed by another organization may return to the Chiefs as free agents or sign with the team's practice squad. The team is currently monitoring the status of Harris and Knowles to determine if they remain within the organization.
