He is probably as good as any other team has for a #4 tackle. Likely would clear waivers as would most #4 tackles. KC seems to feel he has upside.

I know many seemed a little surprised that Kinnard made the 53.  From reports he struggled at tackle.  With the team keeping multiple backup T's does the team see him as a possible future backup guard?  Maybe Thuney's eventual replacement?   Or they are giving him a redshirt year to learn.

It had been speculated for weeks that the Chiefs might keep three quarterbacks. Since acquiring Chad Henne in 2018, head coach Andy Reid has opted to roll into the regular season with only two.

Quarterback Shane Buechele nearly did enough to make this team last year, and he even got a cup of coffee on the 53-man roster late in the year when the aforementioned Cardinals tried to poach him off the Chiefs' practice squad.

By keeping Buechele on the 53-man roster, Reid sent a clear message: the Chiefs value Buechele and see him as the next QB to back up Patrick Mahomes. If the Chiefs thought that Buechele was only good enough to be a third-string quarterback, then they would have let him walk.

This is a more significant vote of confidence in Buechele than it may appear on the surface; it means Reid trusts him to keep the ship afloat in the future if Mahomes and Henne miss time for any reason.

We lost a waiver claim to Washington.   Then they cut him 2 days later.  Wild.
