Overview

• Kwamie Lassiter II joined Kansas City's 90-man roster after a workout, bringing speed from his 2025 UFL campaign with the Memphis Showboats where he recorded 257 yards and one touchdown.
• The Chiefs waived punter Eddie Czaplicki to open space on the roster and locked in Matt Araiza as their punter for the upcoming season.
• Training camp injuries to Hollywood Brown, Skyy Moore and Xavier Worthy intensified a need for slot depth and prompted the move for a quicker wideout.
• Prior to signing Lassiter II, Kansas City conducted tryouts for multiple receivers and defensive backs, including Kawaan Baker and Ajani Carter, to address roster needs.
• The acquisition underscores a growing trend of NFL teams tapping UFL and USFL talent pools to bolster depth during roster adjustments.
