Injury-Prone Chief Needs Strong Training Camp to Stick Around

Training camp is right around the corner and it’s time to think about what the Kansas City Chiefs’ final 53-man roster will look like this fall. Depth has long been a strength of the organization, and this season looks like it’ll be no different.

While the position battle on the left side of the offensive line is likely the most important storyline, what’ll happen at the back end of the wide receiver room is also intriguing. After struggling so mightily as a whole, it looks like the wideout group is the deepest its ever been with Patrick Mahomes.

There should be a fierce competition for just one or two spots, and that puts one injury-prone veteran firmly on the hot seat ahead of camp.

Chiefs WR Skyy Moore Needs Huge Training Camp to Avoid Release

2022 second-round pick Skyy Moore is, by any measure of the word, a bust so far. He has time to turn things around and appears to have gained some muscle, though it won’t matter unless he has an excellent next month.

Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Jalen Royals are all virtual locks, leaving one or two spots for Moore, Nikko Remigio, minicamp darling Tyquan Thornton, and Justyn Ross. Moore is the most experienced, though he suited up for just six games and caught none of his three targets before getting shut down with an injury last year.

He’s never earned Patrick Mahomes’ trust, and it’d make sense if head coach Andy Reid wanted to give someone like Thornton, who is also a former second-round pick, a shot to make an impact.

In three years, Moore doesn’t even have 500 total receiving yards in his career. It’s the last season of his rookie contract and little suggests the Chiefs intend to keep him around. If that’s the case, why not go ahead and start developing someone else now?

Perhaps Moore turns things around and has a stellar camp. That feels unlikely at this point, though here’s hoping he can at least stay healthy.
