The main issue with the Chiefs wide receiver woes is injuries to the position since two of their top receivers are either out for the regular season (Hollywood Brown) or the rest of the season (Rashee Rice). For them to make a deep playoff run, one of their wideouts, possibly DeAndre Hopkins, must step up and take over as Patrick Mahomes\u2019 leading receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Chiefs\u2019 loss to the Bills, they signed a young speedster to the practice squad.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-609\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Kansas City Chiefs added a former second-round pick to the practice squad<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_291457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-291457\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-291457\">Jun 10, 2024; Foxborough, MA, USA; New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (11) walks to the practice fields for minicamp at Gillette Stadium.

Thornton, a former second-round pick by the New England Patriots from the 2022 NFL Draft, spent the first 2.5 seasons in New England but battled injuries in his first two seasons and ultimately fell out of the rotation in Year 3. The Patriots failed to trade him during the NFL Trade Deadline and wound up waiving him on Saturday.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-608\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: New England Patriots: Team Gives Up on Unproductive Former 2nd-Round Pick<\/strong><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-177\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s what fans had to say about the latest Kansas City Chiefs move<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_264497\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-264497\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-264497\">Aug 17, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs fans show support against the Detroit Lions prior to a game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
