Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images \/ Brett Davis-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_873eb7vap\">The Chiefs wasted little time in making a roster move after rookie TE Jared Wiley&#8217;s unfortunate season-ending injury suffered during practice this week.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_9nktlwl2n\">Upon elevating Peyton Hendershot with an active roster contract, Kansas City also reunted with veteran TE Anthony FIrkser, adding him to the practice squad.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rtqrmfi1p\">Firkser spent time with the Chiefs&#8217; practice squad as an undrafted free agent back in 2017. He was eventually waived during the following offseason and has since played for the Titans, Falcons, Lions, Patriots, and Jets.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_08ctsky1h\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_08ctsky1h\">Chiefs Reunite With Veteran TE Anthony Firkser<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We have signed Practice Squad player TE Peyton Hendershot to an active roster contract.<\/p>\n<p>We signed TE Anthony Firkser to the Practice Squad.<\/p>\n<p>We have placed TE Jared Wiley on Reserve\/Injured. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U2LguU359j\">pic.twitter.com\/U2LguU359j<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chiefs\/status\/1852790427084001430?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_2ebq41rsw\">While he hasn&#8217;t yet appeared in a game with Kansas City, Firkser carved out a nice role for himself as a reliable receiving threat with blocking chops.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_19hr2cmkw\">During his seven-year career, Firkser has 115 catches for 1,207 yards and five TDs. His best years came with the Titans, posting 387 receiving yards in 2020 and 291 in 2021. There&#8217;s no expectation for him to play a big role this year but given how many injuries the Chiefs have suffered, the possibility remains open.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Anthony Firkser showing off those Harvard hands \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffe<\/p>\n<p>Touchdown Titans <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TENvsPHI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TENvsPHI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NlSrxtsDQc\">pic.twitter.com\/NlSrxtsDQc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tennessee Titans (@Titans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Titans\/status\/1159630183155945477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jela0gvus\">Kansas City&#8217;s tight end room now features Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, and Hendershot. Firkser will be a &#8220;break glass in case of emergency&#8221; option on the practice squad but the coaching staff hopes that emergency won&#8217;t come.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_lj7gg59ce\">Despite the numerous injuries suffered on the offensive side of the ball, the Chiefs still rank ninth in the NFL in points per game (24.7). This is the league&#8217;s only undefeated still marching on for a bid at a third straight Super Bowl, and moves like this show the organization is ready for anything.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rlrq00yfk\">For now, we welcome Firkser back with open arms and hope he can leave here with a ring.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_gpk14xix3\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chiefs wasted little time in making a roster move after rookie TE Jared Wiley&#8217;s unfortunate season-ending injury suffered during practice this week.
