Chiefs release first depth chart: 10 observations
By Austin Owen
The Kansas City Chiefs have released their first depth chart of 2017. Here are 10 observations.
Sunday afternoon the Chiefs released the very first of what will be many depth charts for the 2017 season. This comes ahead of Fridays preseason opener vs San Francisco. Andy Reid typically plays his starters for at least one series in the opener. I would expect most of the starters on this list, except for the guys on PUP, to get some playing time Friday.
