Kadarius Toney: Waived by Kansas City
Kansas City is slated to waive Toney on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Toney's arrow appeared to be pointing up back in 2022, when he was traded by the Giants mid-season and made some key plays in Kansas City's Super Bowl LVII win, but across 13 regular-season appearances in 2023 he was mistake-prone and inconsistent, totaling a 27-169-1 receiving line. Kansas City's recent addition of JuJu Smith-Schuster, who also played for the team in 2022, seems to have made Toney fully redundant as the team cuts down to 53 players. The 2021 first-round pick got some work out of the backfield and on special teams in training camp, and he boasts enough talent that another club could claim him off waivers.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Solid in exhibition finale
Toney secured two of three targets for 26 yards and returned one punt for 16 yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.
Toney has had a quiet preseason partly due to a back injury, but he turned in a solid performance relative to opportunity Thursday. The 2021 first-round pick of the Giants is looking for a reset of sorts as he heads into his second full season in Kansas City, after suffering through an inconsistent and mistake-laden 2023 campaign that also saw him besieged by multiple injuries. Whether he's done enough to hold on to a roster spot remains to seen given the Chiefs' refurbishing of the receiving corps this offseason, but Marquise Brown's shoulder injury could buy Toney some early-season time in a best-case scenario.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Back at practice
Toney (back) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Toney didn't play in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, but his return to the field Monday could pave the way for him to see action this weekend against the Lions. Now that he's back in the mix, Toney will look to secure a depth role in a WR corps that could potentially be without projected starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) come Week 1.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Not playing vs. Jacksonvile
Toney (back) was not seen in pregame warmups for the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
Toney has battled separate ankle and back injuries during training camp, and the 2021 first-round pick will be held out of Saturday's preseason tilt. He may get some reps in Kansas City's second preseason game against Detroit on Aug. 17, if healthy. Toney is competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and he's also been utilized out of the backfield and on special teams as a returner during training camp.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Bothered by back tightness
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Toney missed practice Wednesday due to back tightness, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
The oft-injured wide receiver previously missed a few training-camp practices with an ankle injury but mostly has been available this summer. Toney is competing for a depth role and is also likely to get a look as a return man.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Back on the field
Toney (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Toney left practice last Wednesday with an ankle injury, but the 2021 first-rounder's return to the field Monday bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars. He's coming off a 2023 regular season in which he caught 27 of his 38 targets for 169 yards and a TD to go along with 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 contests. While Toney still has a chance to claim a role in the Chiefs' re-tooled wideout corps in 2024, at this stage Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy profile as the team's most fantasy-relevant options at the position.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Suffers ankle injury
Toney left Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
The 2021 first-round pick has a lengthy history of lower-body injuries, which is part of why he's probably competing for return work more so than a regular role on offense at this stage of his career. The Chiefs might still have something in mind for Toney off the bench, but he's unlikely to get enough snaps for mainstream fantasy value even if the injury turns out be minor and he returns to practice fairly soon.

Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Getting backfield work
Toney has been seeing reps at running back early in training camp, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
Handling carries isn't completely foreign to Toney, as he's rushed 21 times for 119 yards and one touchdown across four NFL seasons. He also rushed 66 times for 580 yards and two scores in four seasons at Florida before entering the league. With the additions of first-rounder Xavier Worthy and free-agent pickup Hollywood Brown in the offseason to go along with Rashee Rice, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore, wideout snaps may be difficult to come by for Toney. Getting him a look at running back could be a way to get him on the field a bit more, and it would be a way to get the ball in his hands quicker and closer to the line of scrimmage after he struggled mightily to come up with catches last season. Kansas City lost Jerick McKinnon over the offseason and didn't do a whole lot to replace his speed and pass-catching ability at running back. The more Toney can do, the better chance he has of cracking the gameday roster.
