He\u2019s a former seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams who appeared in 33 NFL games, including the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Anchrum will be 27 years old on June 24. After spending his first four campaigns with the Rams from 2020 through 2023, the veteran offensive lineman bounced around the league with brief stints inside the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks,\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0and\u00a0Houston Texans\u2019 organizations.<\/p>\n<p>New undrafted rookie interior offensive lineman Joey Lombard essentially took Anchrum\u2019s spot during his minicamp tryout.<\/p>\n<p>Foelsch spent even less time with the Chiefs, having just signed on June 11.<\/p>\n<p>The former Philadelphia Eagles undrafted rookie has never appeared in a regular-season game, but he did suit up for all three Eagles preseason outings last summer. Per Football Database, Foelsch caught 3 of his 6 targets during the preseason, racking up 17 yards through the air.<\/p>\n<p>For all intents and purposes, the Chiefs brought in Foelsch and Geor\u2019Quarius Spivey for minicamp to compete for a depth role at tight end, and the latter won said competition. Spivey\u2019s reward, similar to Lombard, will be an opportunity at training camp \u2014 assuming KC doesn\u2019t make any more changes before that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Continue to Employ Deep Tight End Room<\/h2>\n<p>Chiefs head coach Andy Reid loves his tight ends. As of June 20, he\u2019ll carry seven tight ends heading into training camp, and one of them has been mysteriously absent for most of the spring.<\/p>\n<p>UDFA rookie Tre Watson has not been present for many of the media-open practices during OTAs and minicamp. If his name were Travis Kelce, this wouldn\u2019t be a huge deal, but it\u2019s rare that you see undrafted rookies miss any practices unless they\u2019re injured.<\/p>\n<p>Watson may be hurt, but KC hasn\u2019t said much about his status either way. For now, he\u2019ll remain with the 90-man roster despite the lack of early reps.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Kelce, Watson and Spivey, the tight end unit includes second-stringer Noah Gray, second-year draft pick Jared Wiley (recovering from a torn ACL), veteran Robert Tonyan and standout undrafted rookie Jake Briningstool.<\/p>\n<p>This should be a fun and competitive area of the roster to watch come training camp.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>NFL Insider Highlights Chiefs\u2019 Tight End Battle Ahead of Training Camp, Calls Jake Briningstool \u2018Summer Dark Horse\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Sports Illustrated NFL insider Albert Breer agreed with that last statement while answering a fan\u2019s mailbag question on June 18.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChiefs\u2019 tight ends,\u201d Breer began, while highlighting several \u201cskill player camp battles\u201d that he is excited about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, Travis Kelce didn\u2019t reverse course on his retirement decision\u2014he\u2019s still playing,\u201d the insider joked. \u201cHowever, how they use and pace him through the season is an open question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Noah Gray, who got an extension last year, could get more work,\u201d he continued. \u201cAaron Rodgers\u2019s old buddy Robert Tonyan is there. And rookie Jake Briningstool is shaping up as a summer dark horse to carve out a role in the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strap in, folks, no one does tight end battles quite like the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Obermuller covers the NFL for Heavy Sports, where he began writing in 2021.
