He\u2019s a former third-round pick of the\u00a0Detroit Lions, and another big 6-foot-5 body at defensive tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, the plan is to add more beef on the D-line with\u00a0Derrick Henry\u00a0lining up on the other side of the trenches. The Ravens are known for their power rushing attack, and Martin is a player who can hold his own on the interior.<\/p>\n<p>With the Lions, Martin appeared in 5 games total, starting 1 of them. He accumulated 4 total tackles over 53 defensive snaps.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are expected to be down a body or two on the defensive line after the\u00a0Mike Danna and Ashton Gillotte news\u00a0on Friday night. Danna is now<strong> \u201cdoubtful,\u201d<\/strong> while Gillotte is <strong>\u201cquestionable.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although both of these players are defensive ends, Kansas City could always use\u00a0Chris Jones\u00a0on the outside versus Baltimore, clogging up the middle with run stuffers like Martin,\u00a0Derrick Nnadi\u00a0and more.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, a <strong>\u201cbigger\u201d<\/strong> front four that can help bottle up Henry.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, with that plan would come a natural sacrifice of athleticism and speed. That could be dangerous with Lamar Jackson at quarterback.<\/p>\n<h2>Chiefs Use Up Kevin Knowles\u2019 Final Practice Squad Elevation<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Knowles has quickly become a popular promotion for the KC coaching staff in 2025. The undrafted cornerback played a lot of nickel this spring and summer, but he\u2019s really become a core special teamer for coordinator Dave Toub.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Unfortunately, Week 4 will be Knowles\u2019 final practice squad eligible game, as the Chiefs have already called upon him the maximum three times during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">That means if Kansas City wants to continue to utilize Knowles on special teams, they\u2019ll have to sign him to the 53-man roster. Otherwise, it will be the last Chiefs fans see of the youngster for some time.<\/p>\n<p>According\u00a0to Pro Football Focus, Knowles has logged snaps on kick return coverage, punt return coverage, field goal block, and 1 lone snap on punt return. He\u2019s earned solid special teams grades of 68.0 and 66.2 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Along with his special teams impact, Knowles provides cornerback depth in case\u00a0Kristian Fulton\u00a0doesn\u2019t suit up again in Week 4. Fulton has been dealing with an ankle injury, and he\u2019s officially \u201cquestionable\u201d to play against the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The Chiefs have not needed to deploy Knowles on defense during his first three practice squad elevations, but you never know what injuries may pop up mid-game.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">For that reason, Knowles\u2019 promotion will once again serve two purposes for the price of one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"after-post-common\" class=\"l-complementary\" role=\"complementary\">\n<aside id=\"custom_html-27\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html\">\n<div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chiefs\u2019 6-Foot-5 Newcomer Set to Debut After Latest Week 4 Announcement The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0announced two roster moves ahead of their Week 4 battle with the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens, and&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
