who placed two players on Injured Reserve this week<\/a>, filled a vacant roster spot on Tuesday by signing running back Michael Wiley.<\/p>\nThe 24-year-old Wiley, who spent last season on the Washington Commanders’ practice squad, rushed for 1,712 yards and 16 touchdowns in 49 games (24 starts) at the University of Arizona from 2019-23. He was also an accomplished pass-catcher during that time, tallying 123 catches for 1,150 yards and 12 scores.<\/p>\n
Here’s more on Wiley from Dane Brugler’s 2024 draft guide:<\/p>\n
“\u2026His short-area burst and vision are translatable traits, and his receiving instincts can be what separates him on an NFL depth chart. He will provide third-down value in the right situation.”<\/p>\n
Wiley will now have a chance to show what he can do in Kansas City.<\/p>\n
3. Linebacker Nick Bolton hauled in an interception during 11-on-11 drills.<\/p>\n
Bolton made perhaps the play of the day when he snagged an interception off a deflection during an 11-on-11 period. It was an athletic play by Bolton, who quickly adjusted to the football’s altered trajectory and snatched it out of the air. The veteran linebacker later added a pass-breakup in coverage down the sideline as part of a strong day.<\/p>\n
Another defensive player who impressed on Tuesday was rookie cornerback Jacobe Covington, who teamed up with fellow rookie cornerback Kevin Knowles to force a pass-breakup during an 11-on-11 period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2.
