Chiefs’ latest roster moves swap defense for offense on practice squad with return of recently released player
The Kansas City Chiefs have swapped a pair of players on the practice squad, bringing back a player recently released by the team.
Update: Jammie Robinson terminated his practice squad contract with the Chiefs to sign with the Detroit Lions.
The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed a recently released player to their practice squad.
Jason Brownlee is back after first being waived from the 53-man roster on Monday, following the team’s activation of WR Rashee Rice from the reserve/suspended list. He cleared waivers on Tuesday and is now officially back on the practice squad. He tweeted out a message to his followers on Tuesday morning.
“My story gone end legendary,” he wrote, followed by a dual exclamation point emoji, a shooting star emoji, and emojis that seem to represent the phrase, brick by brick.
Brownlee appeared in five games for the Chiefs over the past six weeks, playing 21 snaps on offense and 21 snaps on special teams. He was targeted once with no receptions and recorded two tackles on special teams. He was a preseason standout after catching a goal-line fade for a touchdown from Patrick Mahomes in preseason Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Chiefs now have two wide receivers on the practice squad, including Brownlee and Jimmy Holiday. They’ve got seven receivers on the 53-man roster.
Chiefs DB Jammie Robinson terminates his practice squad contract
In a corresponding move, DB Jammie Robinson has terminated his contract with the Chiefs’ practice squad. The former fifth-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 2023 NFL Draft has appeared in 21 career NFL games, with two starts, but didn’t play for Kansas City.
This is a unique situation because the league made the distinction that Robinson decided to terminate his contract. It was not the team’s decision. Perhaps Robinson sought to pursue opportunities elsewhere with a better shot at playing time, as he was likely DB No. 5 on the Chiefs’ roster behind everybody else on the team’s 53-man roster. There could also have been something in his contract that made it more favorable for him to terminate his deal than for the team to do so.
