We’ll see if Mahomes and Hardman are full participants or limited on Wednesday. Reid also mentioned that TE Jody Fortson and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire could be activated from IR this week. Reid mentioned that Fortson is further along and has a better chance to play. Kansas City has an open roster spot after waiving CB Chris Lammons.

ESPN NFL Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has released his first 2023 NFL Mock Draft and he has the Chiefs drafting Boston College WR Zay Flowers. Flowers is an undersized, yet explosive wide receiver that is very dangerous in space. Flowers had 78 receptions for 1,077 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022. With JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman set to be NFL free agents, drafting a WR is very much a possibility during the 2023 NFL Draft.
