That player, per the transaction log and KSHB 41 beat reporter Nick Jacobs, will be fellow wide receiver Jason Brownlee.<\/p>\n<div id=\"71de6143806692cafc95ed3997186b00\">\n<div>\n<article>The #Chiefs have waived WR Jason Brownlee and Rashee Rice is officially off the suspension list per NFL transactions. @KSHB41<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Brownlee was always the logical cut once Rice returned. After all, he was originally added to the active roster after the news of Rice\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Brownlee has been active for five of the Chiefs\u2019\u00a0six outings in 2025, but he hasn\u2019t had much of an impact since training camp and the preseason.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old former UDFA of the New York Jets has logged 21 total snaps on offense and another 21 on special teams, but has not recorded a catch. He was targeted once by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Choose to Activate Rashee Rice From the Suspension List Immediately, Hinting He Will Be Ready to Go in Week 7<\/h2>\n<p>Just before the news of Rice\u2019s activation, Chiefs Digest beat reporter Matt Derrick went over KC\u2019s options for this procedure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith WR Rashee Rice returning today from his six-game suspension, the Chiefs have a one-week roster exemption,\u201d Derrick noted on Monday. \u201cHe won\u2019t count against the 53-player roster until the team activates him. That means they also don\u2019t need to make a move until Saturday for him to play vs. [the Las Vegas] Raiders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Chiefs were allowed to wait until Saturday to reinstate Rice back onto the 53-man roster, but instead chose to do so immediately. This is a clear sign that Rice is ready to play in Week 7, and head coach Andy Reid hinted at that while addressing the media on October 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I know he\u2019s been working like crazy,\u201d Reid said of Rice on Monday afternoon. \u201cThe rule states that we can\u2019t work with him, but I know he\u2019s been\u2026 I know he\u2019s been working out hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just a matter of getting him back in the swing [of things],\u201d the Chiefs HC continued. Adding: \u201cI know he\u2019s in good shape, that\u2019s the one thing I do know. I think that will be important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reid went on to conclude that Rice \u201cgetting with Patrick [Mahomes]\u201d will be equally important, and that getting them both \u201con the same page\u201d will be the focus this week at practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll just see how all that works out,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe haven\u2019t put the game plan in yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Will Risk Losing WR Jason Brownlee on Waivers<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5548053\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jason-Brownlee3-e1760397384786.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" alt=\"Chiefs Announce WR Cut Amid Rashee Rice News: Report\" width=\"780\" height=\"437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5548053\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5548053\">GettyKansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jason Brownlee during training camp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The downside of putting Brownlee on the roster in the first place is that there was always a likelihood that he\u2019d eventually be subjected to waivers when he was cut. Now, that day has come.<\/p>\n<p>Brownlee is a talented 6-foot-3 pass-catcher in a league with plenty of wide receiver injuries. It would not be shocking if another NFL team claimed him off waivers this week.<\/p>\n<p>With the Jets as a rookie, Brownlee caught 5 of his 8 targets for 56 yards and 1 touchdown. He made the Jets\u2019\u00a053-man roster as a rookie and has shown plenty of ability during his various preseason appearances in NY and KC.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Obermuller covers the NFL for Heavy Sports, where he began writing in 2021.
