Chiefs’ young depth shines in second preseason game as coaching and veterans stumble

In the Chiefs’ second preseason game against the Buccaneers, a wave of young players stood out: Felix Anudike-Uzomah notched the defense’s first sack, with R Mason Thomas and Mansoor Delane showing speed and versatility on defense, while Jalen Royals led Kansas City with 51 receiving yards on six targets. Cyrus Allen and Brashard Smith also flashed as potential role players, including special-teams opportunities. On the flip side, Kahlil Benson struggled on the line, Special Teams Coordinator Dave Toub faced execution issues with penalties and misses, Kristian Fulton underperformed, Ethan Hurkett looked off late, and quarterback Justin Fields drew attention for designed-running opportunities—highlighting ongoing roster battles and coaching questions heading into the regular season.

Chiefs' preseason Week 2 exposes tackle depth gaps, while edge rush shines

In Week 2 of the preseason, the Kansas City Chiefs showed significant tackle-depth concerns with Josh Simmons out due to a back injury, as Jaylon Moore, Khalil Benson and Esa Pole struggled in pass protection and raised questions about right tackle depth. If Simmons misses time, the offense would rely on extra chips and limit downfield throws. On defense, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and Mason Thomas flashed as disruptive edge players, though rookie Peter Woods has been underwhelming with limited power and hand usage. Special teams delivered a jaw-dropping moment as Harrison Butker nailed a 69-yard field goal before halftime, underscoring the kicking game’s strength this season.

Depth on Display: Chiefs Seek Answers in Week 2 Preseason vs Buccaneers

In Week 2 of the NFL preseason, the Chiefs visit the Buccaneers after a 20-12 loss to the Rams, with several depth-chart questions on the line: rookie Cyrus Allen targets could rise as he pushes for more looks; fifth-round running back Emmett Johnson is pushing to be the backup behind Kenneth Walker; tight end depth behind Travis Kelce—Noah Gray, Jake Briningstool, Jared Wiley and Tre Watson—will be watched for continued development; the offensive line is shorthanded due to Josh Simmons’ back injury, testing the depth beyond the starters; and rookie corner Mansoor Delane is poised for a possible pro debut as he returns to practice fully. The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. local time in Tampa and airs on KSHB 41.

Chiefs' camp notes: injuries force line shuffles as Mahomes shines

Day 16 of Chiefs camp in St. Joseph featured injuries driving offensive-line shuffles (Benson and Moore changing spots) amid broader lineup changes, Mahomes throwing goal-line TD passes to Rashee Rice and Kenneth Walker, and Harrison Butker going 9-for-10 on field goals including two from 50-plus yards. The team plans another padded session before traveling to Tampa for preseason game No. 2, while an expanding injury list limited several veterans and kept others in limited 11-on-11 work.
