Overview
- The NFL transaction wire lists five offensive tackles and three wide receivers trying out for Kansas City before the Texans game.
- Offensive linemen Zach Banner, Nicolas Petit-Frere, D'Ante Smith, Zachary Thomas, and Matt Waletzko were all evaluated at tackle.
- Wide receivers Joaquin Davis, Erik Ezukanma, and Jha'Quan Jackson also worked out, with Jackson bringing NFL return experience.
- Reporting indicates immediate 53-man roster additions are unlikely, with practice-squad moves considered more probable.
- Local coverage notes starting tackles Josh Simmons and Jawaan Taylor were banged up after Week 13, underscoring the emphasis on edge help.
