The Kansas City Chiefs are making roster adjustments ahead of their Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to injuries impacting key players. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and cornerback Jaylen Watson are both sidelined, prompting the team to add depth by re-signing Cornell Powell to the practice squad and promoting Keith Taylor to the active roster.
Quarterback Chris Oladokun has also been signed to the practice squad as the team navigates these changes. With Smith-Schuster ruled out for the upcoming game, other receivers like Montrell Washington and Justyn Ross may see increased roles. The Chiefs are striving to maintain their competitive edge despite the challenges posed by injuries.
