The Kansas City Chiefs used waiver priority to claim two rookies, defensive tackle Bryson Eason (formerly with the 49ers) and edge defender Jack Pyburn, adding depth to the defensive line and pass rush as camp winds down; KC may also bring back Harris on the practice squad if unclaimed, and the club later added 12 players to the initial practice squad including developmental tackle Cole Brevard.
The Kansas City Chiefs trimmed to 53, with Emari Demercado, Chukwuebuka Godrick and Melvin Smith claimed off waivers by other teams; KC then added Bryson Eason (DT, from San Francisco) and Jack Pyburn (EDGE/LB, from Tampa Bay) after waiver claims.

Less than 24 hours after revealing their 53-man roster, the Chiefs claimed two undrafted rookies on waivers—LB Jack Pyburn (LSU) and DT Bryson Eason (Tennessee)—to make room by waiving Marcus Harris and Kevin Knowles. Eason (6-2, 323) is expected as a backup nose tackle, while Pyburn (6-4, 262) is listed as a linebacker but projects as a defensive end in KC; Pyburn’s NCAA eligibility situation was resolved in favor of playing for the Chiefs, per Schefter and analysts.
The Kansas City Chiefs claimed LB Jack Pyburn off waivers from the Buccaneers and added DT Bryson Eason after he was cut by the 49ers; Pyburn, an LSU alumnus who flashed with four preseason sacks, now appears unlikely to return to college football, while Eason joins KC to bolster the defensive line.
The Kansas City Chiefs used their No. 9 spot in the NFL's waiver order to claim two defensive linemen — DT Bryson Eason from Tennessee and DE Jack Pyburn (LSU/FSU background) — with moves needed to finalize their 53-man roster; the team also saw Emari Demercado claimed by the Cowboys, Chu Godrick claimed by the Dolphins, and Melvin Smith Jr. claimed by the Titans.
