Chiefs Sign 3 Players, Waive 2 Injured CBs At Training Camp

The Kansas City Chiefs made several roster moves during their 2025 training camp to address injury concerns and add competition at cornerback and wide receiver positions. They signed cornerbacks Ajani Carter and Azizi Hearn, along with wide receiver Key'Shawn Smith, while waiving injured cornerbacks Darius Rush and Eric Scott, who are expected to move to the Reserve/Injured list if they clear waivers. Carter and Smith are rookies who entered the league as undrafted free agents, with Carter coming from the University of Houston and Smith having collegiate experience at Miami and SMU. Hearn, a veteran cornerback, has been with multiple teams' practice squads since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2023. The Chiefs also clarified that previous reports of signing former WR Kwamie Lassiter II were inaccurate, as he was only present for tryouts but not signed. These moves aim to bring healthier players into camp and provide these new signees with opportunities to earn practice squad roles rather than immediate spots on the active roster.
