Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star noted that he is on the roster bubble heading into training camp, with others predicting he will not find a spot on the team\u2019s final 53-man roster.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Skyy Moore in a Fight for His Job<\/h2>\n<p>As Newell noted, the wide receiver position is set to be one of the \u201cbiggest storylines\u201d in training camp, with Nikko Remigio, Jason Brownlee, and Justyn Ross joining Moore on the roster bubble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSkyy Moore has looked good again this summer \u2026 but will Mahomes trust him after his previous history of drops and inconsistency?\u201d Newell wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Newell added that receiver Tyquan Thornton could be in line for one of the final roster spots due to his versatility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Head coach Andy] Reid had some praise for Thornton a couple weeks ago, and the receiver has also worked as a gunner on special teams in recent practices, which could help his roster versatility,\u201d Newell wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s way too early to call the race at this position, but Thornton certainly has earned himself a long look.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In what could be an ominous sign for Moore \u2014 and of his shaky connection to Mahomes \u2014 the Chiefs quarterback omitted his name when talking about the depth of the team\u2019s wide receiving corps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s\u00a0gonna come from everywhere,\u201d Mahomes said of the team\u2019s air attack. \u201cObviously, you\u2019ve got Rashee being back. He looks great. You have Xavier Worthy, who came on so strong at the end of last year. You have Hollywood Brown healthy again. Guys everywhere. You add in Travis Kelce, a Hall of Famer. Noah Gray, a great tight end, and everybody that we\u2019ve added to all those different rooms. We have so many weapons. Let\u2019s go out there and just maximize it all. It\u2019s not gonna be just one person. It\u2019s gonna be the entire offense going out there and showcasing what the Kansas City Chiefs truly are.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tough Outlook for Skyy Moore<\/h2>\n<p>Dominic Minchella of SI.com shared a similar outlook for Moore, calling him the \u201codd man out\u201d of the Chiefs\u2019 wide receiving corps.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_a3aa8klht\">\u201cMoore, a former second-round selection for the franchise, has yet to live up to the expectations,\u201d Minchella wrote. \u201cThrough three seasons with Kansas City, Moore has played in 36 regular season games and has brought in 43 receptions and 494 receiving yards. He has also only scored a singular touchdown in his career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_a3aa8klht\">Moore had a dismal season in 2024, making zero receptions in six games played with just three total targets. Minchella noted that Moore\u2019s relatively inexpensive rookie contract could be his saving grace.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_a3aa8klht\">\u201cBeing relatively inexpensive might be Moore\u2019s saving grace in having a job come the beginning of the season,\u201d Minchell wrote. \u201cWhile he hasn\u2019t lived up to the expectations, the Chiefs are still giving him a chance to prove himself and crack the 53-man roster for Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Dougherty is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
