Now, the next step is building out a 16-man practice squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">At noon Arrowhead Time on Monday, players unclaimed on the waiver wire will be available to sign to NFL practice squads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Most players who will fill the practice squad will have previously been waived from the Chiefs\u2019 90-man roster. Up to six of the 16 players each team can carry on its practice squad may have any amount of league experience. So it\u2019s possible the Chiefs could sign some practice-squad players from the pool of veteran players just released by other teams \u2014 who will not have to go through waivers \u2014 before Monday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Chiefs are eighth in the waiver order, so the front office has an opportunity to claim a player and bring them onto the 53-man roster at the expense of a player who initially made it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Chiefs have relied on practice-squad call-ups throughout their era of three Super Bowl titles. This year, Kansas City is tied for the fifth-lowest odds (+1700) to win Super Bowl LXI among all NFL teams, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs practice squad news &amp; rumors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs have determined the initial 53-man roster.
