Peyton Hendershot is set to step up as the third tight end for the Chiefs following the injuries to Jared Wiley and Jody Fortson. He has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster, indicating the team's confidence in his abilities. Hendershot was originally acquired in August and is viewed as an intriguing addition to the roster. His role will be crucial in redistributing snaps, as Wiley and Fortson accounted for significant playing time before their injuries.
