Hanson on their practice squad"},"content":{"rendered":"

According to the official NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> have signed two players to their practice squad: safety Tanner McCalister and guard Nick Broeker. The two players take the places of safety Mike Edwards and guard C.J. Hanson \u2014 both of whom were recently activated to the team\u2019s 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

That brings the practice squad to the Chiefs\u2019 full complement of 17. (The team is permitted an extra spot because offensive lineman Chu Godrick is an International Pathways Program player).<\/p>\n

Both players are 25, having joined the league in 2023. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound McCalister was an undrafted free agent out of Ohio State for the Cleveland Browns<\/a>, while Broeker \u2014 checking in at 6 feet 4 and 305 pounds \u2014 was a seventh-round pick (23oth overall) for the Buffalo Bills<\/a> out of Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Both have been with multiple practice squads (or offseason rosters) and have collected a handful of NFL game appearances. McCalister (who has been assigned jersey No. 44 with the Chiefs) was in three games for the Browns in 2023 and three more with the Denver Broncos<\/a> in 2024 \u2014 but spent the 2025 offseason with the New York Jets<\/a>. Broeker \u2014 who will wear No. 67 in Kansas City \u2014 didn\u2019t make the Buffalo roster as a rookie, but appeared in a total of a dozen games with the Houston Texans<\/a> in 2023 and 2024 before ending up back on the Bills\u2019 practice squad this season. They released him a week ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to the official NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed two players to their practice…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":452994,"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-452993","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\/115734404454520018","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452993","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=452993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
