He played in all three of Kansas City\u2019s preseason games. Presumably, any action Knowles sees on Sunday would come on special teams. You may remember that he blocked an extra point attempt by former Kansas City placekicker Cairo Santos late in the team\u2019s third exhibition contest against the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Although he was waived at the roster cut deadline last month, Knowles signed with Kansas City\u2019s practice squad the next day. He will revert to the practice squad following the game, and he can be elevated two more times without officially joining the active roster.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.arrowheadpride.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25486453\/1913166294.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C99.9460999461&amp;w=2400\" alt=\"Kansas City Chiefs v Los Angeles Chargers\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Friday, we learned that the Chiefs waived pass rusher B.J. Thompson from the team\u2019s Reserve\/NFI (non-football-illness) list with a settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson was Kansas City\u2019s fifth-round selection in the 2023 draft. As a rookie, he suited up for the regular season finale against the Los Angeles Chargers as the Chiefs rested most of their starters.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into his second season in 2024, however, Thompson suffered a cardiac arrest at the team facility during a meeting before an offseason practice. He spent four days in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Thompson spent the 2024 season on the NFI list. The Chiefs waived him in May as undrafted free agents were added, but he reverted to NFI after going unclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>0 Comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City also made a procedural move on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":99951,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99950","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 -
