Knowles has already racked up 4 total tackles over 21 special teams snaps.<\/p>\n<p>The second elevation will be a Kansas City debut, as Martin gets his first opportunity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Will Give Signing Brodric Martin a Look in Week 4 vs. the Ravens<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5512489\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Brodric-Martin-e1759016666931.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" alt=\"Chiefs' 6-Foot-5 Newcomer Set to Debut After Latest Week 4 Announcement\" width=\"780\" height=\"437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5512489\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5512489\"><em>Getty Brodric Martin is set to make his Kansas City Chiefs debut in Week 4.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Chiefs signed Martin to the practice squad following the 53-man roster cutdown. He\u2019s a former third-round pick of the Detroit Lions, and another big 6-foot-5 body at defensive tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, the plan is to add more beef on the D-line with Derrick Henry lining up on the other side of the trenches. The Ravens are known for their power rushing attack, and Martin is a player who can hold his own on the interior.<\/p>\n<p>With the Lions, Martin appeared in 5 games total, starting 1 of them. He accumulated 4 total tackles over 53 defensive snaps.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs are expected to be down a body or two on the defensive line after the Mike Danna and Ashton Gillotte news on Friday night. Danna is now \u201cdoubtful,\u201d while Gillotte is \u201cquestionable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although both of these players are defensive ends, Kansas City could always use Chris Jones on the outside versus Baltimore, clogging up the middle with run stuffers like Martin, Derrick Nnadi and more.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, a \u201cbigger\u201d front four that can help bottle up Henry.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, with that plan would come a natural sacrifice of athleticism and speed. That could be dangerous with Lamar Jackson at quarterback.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs Use Up Kevin Knowles\u2019 Final Practice Squad Elevation<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!Tu_c!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2d816736-5369-4734-8658-31c76abf910d_1000x667.jpeg\" alt=\"Chiefs practice squad spotlight: Rookie CBs Kevin Knowles, Melvin Smith\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Knowles has quickly become a popular promotion for the KC coaching staff in 2025. The undrafted cornerback played a lot of nickel this spring and summer, but he\u2019s really become a core special teamer for coordinator Dave Toub.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Week 4 will be Knowles\u2019 final practice squad eligible game, as the Chiefs have already called upon him the maximum three times during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>That means if Kansas City wants to continue to utilize Knowles on special teams, they\u2019ll have to sign him to the 53-man roster. Otherwise, it will be the last Chiefs fans see of the youngster for some time.<\/p>\n<p>According to Pro Football Focus, Knowles has logged snaps on kick return coverage, punt return coverage, field goal block, and 1 lone snap on punt return. He\u2019s earned solid special teams grades of 68.0 and 66.2 so far.<\/p>\n<p>Along with his special teams impact, Knowles provides cornerback depth in case Kristian Fulton doesn\u2019t suit up again in Week 4. Fulton has been dealing with an ankle injury, and he\u2019s officially \u201cquestionable\u201d to play against the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs have not needed to deploy Knowles on defense during his first three practice squad elevations, but you never know what injuries may pop up mid-game. For that reason, Knowles\u2019 promotion will once again serve two purposes for the price of one.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Obermuller covers the NFL for Heavy Sports, where he began writing in 2021.
