Despite a third consecutive trip to the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs struggled to find consistently high-level/explosive production out of their skill position players on offense last year, which has led to an offseason focus on installing more weapons around superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
However, Kansas City did some personnel housekeeping on Thursday, May 15, wherein the team actually parted ways with two potential playmakers — a running back and wide receiver — as preseason work continues, and the team whittles down its roster toward an initial 53-man grouping.
“[Chiefs] waived injured [running back] Keaontay Ingram and removed [wide receiver] Justin Lockhart from injured reserve with an injury settlement,” Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston reported via X.
