The Kansas City Chiefs made a series of roster moves on Wednesday, December 17, ahead of their Week 16 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
First, Kansas City placed star quarterback Patrick Mahomes on its injured reserve list, which opened a spot on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster.
Then, the team signed veteran defensive lineman Zacch Pickens — a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears — to its active roster.
Next, Kansas City signed wide receiver Jimmy Holiday to its practice squad.
Finally, the Chiefs designated tight end Jake Briningstool and defensive back Nazeeh Johnson to return to practice.
Take a look at the team’s full announcement of its latest roster moves:
With these transactions finalized, Kansas City is set to take on the Titans with a chance to bring its regular-season record closer to .500 with just three games left to play.
Stay tuned to see if Pickens will make an impact for the Chiefs in Week 16, or if Kansas City might decide to elevate Holiday to give itself an edge over Tennessee.
