The Kansas City Chiefs held a tryout for 10 players on Friday as the team explores options to add depth to its offensive personnel. Among those invited for a workout was veteran wide receiver Xavier Gipson, who has appeared in 41 NFL games throughout his career. The team also evaluated several tight ends and additional wide receiver options including Cameron Ross. These roster adjustments follow the team’s recent decision to reach injury settlements with E.J. Smith, Chris Oladokun, and C.J. Hansen, all of whom were waived from injured reserve. The current wide receiver group in Kansas City remains anchored by Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton. While management has not yet made a decision on any potential signings from this group of tryout participants, the search for additional depth continues.
