Chiefs Add Bub Means to Practice Squad

Overview

• Bub Means signed to the Chiefs' practice squad on Nov. 5, 2026, a day after he tried out for the team.
• Means was a 2024 fifth-round pick and totaled 1,552 yards and 10 touchdowns across seasons at Pittsburgh and Louisiana Tech, with 42% of his 2023 targets thrown 20 or more yards downfield.
• He last played regular-season snaps as a rookie in 2024, appearing in seven games for New Orleans with nine catches for 118 yards, and he spent time on the Browns' practice squad after being cut following the 2026 preseason.
• Means joins Justin Watson and Jacob De Jesus on Kansas City's practice squad after the team recently promoted Andrew Armstrong to the 53-man roster and hosted multiple receiver tryouts.
• Practice-squad signings can be elevated to the active roster, so Means gives Kansas City a ready deep receiving option if injuries occur or the team needs to add a receiver before the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
