With the starters sitting against the Chicago Bears, the Kansas City Chiefs will provide one more chance for RB Deneric Prince, WR Kadarius Toney and OG C.J. Hanson to prove they belong on the roster — or in the NFL.
, leaving a group of down-the-depth-chart Chiefs to make their final case for a roster spot — or perhaps to show another team that they deserve a chance elsewhere in the league. When the NFL's mandatory cutdown day arrives on August 27, the team will pare down from a 90-man roster to a 53-man crew. Can any of these three offensive players make one more push?Second-year undrafted free agent running back Deneric Prince is as much of a coin flip as any player on this roster.
, his roster spot seems less secure than it was earlier in the offseason, but it also wouldn't shock me to see Edwards-Helaire remain as high as KC's second-string running back when the regular season arrives. Alternatively, if the Chiefs keep four total running backs, Prince would join Edwards-Helaire and Steele as the trio behind starter Isiah Pacheco.
Pacheco won't play against the Bears, and I would guess we probably won't see much of Edwards-Helaire. Steele seems to have shown the coaching staff enough to prove his value and could see limited reps on Thursday, and the rest of the depth chart has fallen behind those top four runners. All of that points to a chance for Prince to get a major workload against Chicago.
