The Kansas City Chiefs will trim their roster down to just 53 players this week after ending their preseason on a high note with a win over the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Though the team would prefer to keep all 90 athletes currently on their payroll, they will have to sacrifice some up-and-coming talent to get under the 53-player threshold mandated by the NFL.
Several players stood out for Kansas City in the preseason, but given the depth of the Chiefs roster, many of their top performers are likely to get the axe ahead of Tuesday’s cut deadline. From promising receivers to defensive linemen, and even quarterbacks, Kansas City will have to cull their roster in preparation for their 2023 Super Bowl defense campaign.
