KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have promoted wide receiver Josh Gordon from their practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Tuesday.
That means Gordon, 30, is likely to play against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs last week signed Gordon, who hadn’t played in the NFL since 2019, and there were immediate signs from the team that the Chiefs were eager to get him into the mix.
Coach Andy Reid on Monday didn’t commit to activating Gordon this week and said it would depend on Gordon’s familiarity with the offensive system.
The Chiefs have been searching for a wide receiver who can play every down along with Tyreek Hill since losing Sammy Watkins as a free agent in the spring. They’ve given significant playing time to Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle, but none of those players has consistently delivered for the Chiefs.
