Most players who will fill the practice squad will have previously been waived from the Chiefs\u2019 90-man roster, so they must clear waivers first. 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 Wednesday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"duet--article--comments-link _1jdgahs9\" href=\"http:\/\/www.arrowheadpride.com\/kansas-city-chiefs-roster\/179892\/chiefs-initial-53-man-roster-for-2025-revealed-after-cuts#comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">73 Comments<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs have made their cuts to get the team\u2019s active roster down to 53 players&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":179269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[4161,3012,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-179268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","9":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-roster","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115099820673242153","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
