He impressed in this year\u2019s training camp and caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the preseason opener. With a suspension for Chiefs wideout Rashee Rice looming, Brownlee made the team\u2019s initial roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brownlee was active for five of the Chiefs\u2019 first six games. He did not record a reception, but he did exceed 20% of the team\u2019s special teams snaps three times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A move in the Chiefs\u2019 wide receiver room was widely expected this week because Rice is eligible to rejoin the team after serving his six-game suspension. While Rice did come off his suspension Monday, the Chiefs technically did not need to make a roster move yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Presumably, the Chiefs are showing respect for Brownlee by waiving him early in the week to allow him to be claimed by an interested team. Should he go unclaimed on waivers, Kansas City can add him to the team\u2019s practice squad before the practice week to prepare for the Raiders begins on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Per Monday\u2019s NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs waived wide receiver Jason Brownlee on Monday.
