OTAs are underway Womens Chris Jones Jersey , so how do the position battles shape up?"As OTAs get underway on Tuesday, let’s take a look at the full 90-man Kansas City Chiefs roster, and see how the position battles shake out at this point.CenterAustin ReiterNick AllegrettiJimmy MurrayWhat we know: Austin Reiter is the presumed starter.What we don’t know: Where sixth-round pick Nick Allegretti fits in the picture. Based on statements the Chiefs have made, Allegretti could push Reiter for the starting job at center, but he could also be in the mix to become a starter at left guard and the backup center.GuardLaurent Duvernay-TardifAndrew WylieCam ErvingKahlil McKenzieZack GolditchWhat we know: Duvernay-Tardif will clearly be the starter at right guard.What we don’t know:Who will start at left guard? It is worth noting that Andrew Wylie was the starting left guard in Dwayne Bowe’s final play just last week after starting much of last year at right guard after Duvernay-Tardif’s injury.Erving was the starter for most of 2018, but was less than ideal in that role.The former first-round pick got a contract extension last season but could end up as a swing offensive lineman in 2019 after facing competition from Allegretti and McKenzie.Golditch is a wild card.The undrafted rookie has a great story and could impress the coaches.TackleEric FisherMitchell SchwartzPace MurphyJustin SeniorRyan HunterDino BoydWhat we know: Fisher and Schwartz will start in 2019.What we don’t know: Just about everything else. The rest of these players are relatively unknown.Tight EndTravis KelceBlake BellJohn PhillipsJohn LovettDeon YelderDavid WellsJoe FortsonWhat we know: Travis Kelce is the obvious starter.What we don’t know: How long it will take Kelce to be 100% after offseason ankle surgery, and how many tight ends the Chiefs will keep. The team kept two at the beginning of 2018, but with Kelce’s unknown status, it could conceivably keep three in 2019.So six players are competing for one (or two) roster spots.Bell and Phillips have the NFL experience, but the Chiefs are clearly intrigued by the idea of converting Princeton quarterback John Lovett to tight end.Running BackDamien WilliamsAnthony ShermanCarlos HydeDarrel WilliamsDarwin ThompsonMarcus MarshallJames WilliamsWhat we know: Damien Williams performed well as the starting running back after Kareem Hunt’s release last season.He would be at least the presumed starter for 2019.Sherman faces no real competition as the fullback; his value on special teams and as a backup tight end will assure him a roster spot.What we don’t know: Exactly how the Chiefs want to address the remaining running back positions.Do they want a solid, experienced backup like Hyde on the team, or will they want to focus on developing younger players with more upside?The answer to that question will determine Hyde’s fate.Wide receiverTyreek HillSammy WatkinsDemarcus RobinsonGehrig DieterMarcus KempMecole HardmanByron PringleFelton DavisCody ThompsonRashard DavisJamal CustisDavon GraysonWhat we know: Hill and Watkins will be the starters.What we don’t know: How long of a suspension (if any) Hill will serve during the season.That will impact how many receivers the Chiefs carry on the roster to start the season.Also unknown: How will Hardman will be used as a receiver in his rookie season. Will he (as some suspect) be used primarily as a kick returner as a rookie?That could affect his position on the wideout depth chart; he could be behind Robinson Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , or behind Dieter, Kemp or Pringle — or in front of all four.QuarterbackPatrick MahomesChad HenneChase LittonT.J. LintaKyle ShurmurWhat we know: Mahomes will be the starter.Duh.Henne will be the backup.Duh.What we don’t know: Who will take the third spot? Litton clearly has the inside track.Defensive tackleChris JonesDerrick NnadiXavier WilliamsKhalen SaundersJustin HamiltonJoey IvieCavon WalkerWhat we know: Jones will clearly be one starter.Nnadi played well enough in 2018 to have the inside track to play beside Jones.What we don’t know: How many roster spots will remain, and who will fill them.Williams is solid and has experience.Third-round pick Saunders should make the team.But that could be all the roster room that’s left for the interior of the defensive line.Defensive endFrank ClarkEmmanuel OgbahAlex OkaforBreeland SpeaksTanoh KpassagnonWhat we know: Clark is an obvious starter.What we don’t know: It’s hard to know whether Okafor, Ogbah or Speaks will become a starter at the other end position — but whoever it is, it’s likely the others will back him up.That leaves Kpassagnon.He will be under pressure to perform up to the Chiefs’ expectations, and it seems likely there’s a question about whether he’ll make the final roster.LinebackerDamien WilsonJeremiah AttaochuAnthony HitchensReggie RaglandDorian O’DanielDarron LeeBen NiemannDarius HarrisGary JohnsonRaymond DavisonRobert McCrayWhat we know: Hitchens will make the roster and start.What we don’t know: Just about anything else.We can be sure Hitchens will start because of his salary and 4-3 experience, but we can’t be sure how Spagnuolo will use him.No one else in the linebacker corps (with the possible exception of Wilson) has enough NFL experience in a 4-3 system for anyone to definitively say that he will start in a particular spot.Wilson, Hitchens and O’Daniel seem like they’d be the logical choices as Sam, Mike and Will linebackers, but with the Lee’s recent addition, we can’t be sure.Is Lee meant to compete (or even start) at Will, or is Spagnuolo planning to use him as a hybrid linebacker/safety in coverage?CornerbackKendall FullerBashaud BreelandCharvarius WardKeith ReaserRashad FentonTremon SmithMark FieldsJalin BurrellHerb MillerD’Montre WadeDakari MonroeWhat we know: Fuller will start.Breeland will likely start.What we don’t know: Who will take the last three cornerback spots? Eight players will be competing for those. Ward showed well in limited snaps last season.Reaser is well-liked by the front office and was an AAF star.Fenton is the new sixth-round pick.Smith saw little play at his listed position while serving as a kick returner in 2018.The rest are all question marks.SafetyTyrann MathieuJuan ThornhillJordan LucasDaniel SorensenArmani WattsHarold Jones-QuarteyAndrew SorohWhat we know: Mathieu will start.What we don’t know: Lucas showed pretty well at safety in 2018 http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-ron-parker-jersey , but will have to work hard to stay ahead of second-round pick Thornhill.Sorensen — like Sherman — could end up taking a roster spot on the basis of his special-teams value.Although I pegged Watts as the probable starter alongside Mathieu in my first read of the likely 53-man roster, I now believe he’s on the bubble.Jones-Quartey and Soroh are unknown quantities.SpecialistsHarrison ButkerJames WinchesterDustin ColquittJack FoxWhat we know: Butker and Winchester are locks; the Chiefs have brought in no competition.What we don’t know: Whether Colquitt can beat out a rookie punter.Put your money on Colquitt — but don’t use the rent money.Chiefs 90-Man Roster May 21 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It has been a whirlwind first 11 weeks for the Kansas City Chiefs, filled with record-setting performances, high-scoring losses and the emergence of first-year starter Patrick Mahomes as one of the brightest young quarterbacks in the NFL.It’s also been an exhausting 11 weeks. And a pause is coming at a good time.The Chiefs headed home from Los Angeles on Monday night still feeling the sting of a 54-51 loss to the Rams in what was arguably the most entertaining regular-season game in years. They headed right into their bye week with an opportunity to refocus and get healthy for the stretch run.One that Mahomes and Co. still think will involve a deep playoff run.“It’s kind of like a reset,” Mahomes said, “get your body right and come back with that mentality that we’re going to win and we can still get home-field advantage, hopefully.”Indeed, the Chiefs (9-2) aren’t in much worse shape regarding the playoffs after the weekend than they were before it. The Chargers, their closest pursuers in the division, lost to the Broncos, while the Patriots were unable to make up much ground on the No. 1 seed because they were on a bye.After the week off Womens Tony Gonzalez Jersey , the Chiefs have two of their final five games against the moribund Raiders, two others are at home against the Ravens and Chargers, and a trip to Seattle rounds out things.In other words, the Chiefs believe they’re well-positioned heading into December.“We’re going to heal up here and get ourselves ready to go,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Wide receiver Sammy Watkins will no doubt use the week off to rest his ailing foot, which kept him out of practice last week and limited him to a couple early snaps against the Rams. Mitch Morse could be back at center after dealing with a concussion for several weeks, and a series of more minor injuries have affected nearly everybody on the roster.But the big question mark, at least in terms of health, revolved around Eric Berry.The Chiefs’ highly-paid star safety, who missed most of last season with a torn Achilles tendon, returned to the practice field over the summer and appeared ready for the year. But his heel began to bother him early in training camp, and even though Reid has insisted that Berry is “day to day Christian Okoye Jersey ,” the injury has turned out to be more “month to month.”The five-time Pro Bowl pick still hasn’t been on the practice field, even though he was never put on injured reserve, and time is running out if Berry is going to play at all this season.“If he feels comfortable and the docs are good with it and he’s good with it, then we’ll start easing him in,” Reid said, when asked whether that could happen after the bye.The Chiefs certainly could have used their hard-hitting safety on Monday night.Jared Goff threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns without an interception, and the Rams piled up more than 450 yards in a game that came down to the wire. Most importantly, the Chiefs couldn’t make a stop after taking the lead in the fourth quarter, allowing the Rams a go-ahead answer.“I think we showed a lot of heart,” Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston said. “We took several punches. Everybody’s got a game plan until you get hit in the mouth. We got hit in the mouth several times, but for us to keep fighting as a whole, I think that shows what kind of team we are.”100<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:View from the sidelines: NFL cheerleaders 2018Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports | Raj MehtaOr what kind of team the Chiefs can ultimately become.Both of their losses have come on the road against teams that figure to be in the playoffs; they also lost a shootout in New England http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-breeland-speaks-jersey , when Tom Brady rallied the Patriots to a go-ahead field goal in the final seconds. And in both cases, the Chiefs would have walked away victors had their defense been able to make one more stop when it counted.So along with getting healthy during their bye week, the Chiefs will no doubt look at tweaking their defense, trying to figure out on the fly how they can improve down the stretch.Health is a good place start. But the Chiefs think there are other issues to iron out.“We all look at it that way,” Reid insisted, “every guy on this team will do that. That’s the way these guys are wired and that’s what’s going to make us a great football team down the stretch.”Yes, even the Chiefs’ record-setting offense can smooth over some things.The Chiefs remain one of the NFL’s most-penalized teams, and many of those flags have come on offense. Mahomes also threw three picks and lost two fumbles against the Rams, though that may have been an aberration — he’s been good at protecting the ball all season.There’s work to be done. And the Chiefs finally have a week off to do it.
