The Kansas City Chiefs hit the ground running when it came opening their 2022 pre-season. After a few weeks of camp, the Chiefs got into action, hosting the Chicago Bears in week one of the pre-season.
Rookie wideout Skyy Moore posted a line of 6 receptions for 71 yards and a score in this contest, showcasing exactly why Kanas City selected the Western Michigan product. This performance gave way for the Chiefs to make a splash in the trade market, acquiring defensive end, Brian Burns, in exchange for Mecole Hardman and a 2023 second-round pick.
As the pre-season went on, the Chiefs captured two wins, finishing with a record of 2-1. The newly acquired Burns recorded two quarterback tackles, one forced fumbled and two fumble recoveries during this period.
The offense did not seem to miss a beat without the speedster Hardman at the helm as Patrick Mahomes looks to be on the same page as most of his receiving core. This comes as good news to the club with the Chiefs losing out on Tyreek Hill this past off-season and bringing in a whole new crew of pass catcher for the franchise quarterback.
Kansas City has finalized its 53-man roster and are preparing to travel to Arizona to take on Coach LB and the high-flying Cardinals when the season opens at 9pm EST.
Here is how the Cheif's depth chart will look heading into the 2022-2023 season:
