The Kansas City Chiefs continue to bolster their roster as they announced the addition of four new players to their practice squad on Tuesday. This move comes as the team prepares for the 2026 NFL season, aiming to enhance their depth and ensure they have a robust lineup ready for the challenges ahead.
The newly signed players include running back Nate Carter, offensive lineman Ethan Driskell, cornerback Kader Kohou, and fullback Ben VanSumeren. The Chiefs shared this update through their official social media channels, highlighting the strategic moves they are making to strengthen their squad.
Nate Carter and Ben VanSumeren both participated in training camps with other teams prior to joining the Chiefs. Meanwhile, Ethan Driskell and Kader Kohou were part of the Chiefs' 90-man roster during the preseason but were released before the final roster cuts. This indicates the team's ongoing evaluation process as they look to find the right fit for their practice squad.
Kader Kohou, who has experience in the league, is making a comeback after suffering a torn ACL during training camp last year while with the Miami Dolphins. Kohou brings significant experience to the Chiefs, having started 38 games in his career, accumulating 190 tackles and three interceptions. His ability to recover from injury and contribute effectively will be crucial for the Chiefs' secondary.
Ethan Driskell, who joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft, has seen action in two career games. His development will be closely monitored as the team seeks to enhance its offensive line depth. The addition of these players reflects the Chiefs' commitment to building a competitive roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
In the NFL, each team is allowed to have 16 players on their practice squad, but teams participating in the International Player Pathway Program can have up to 17. As the league progresses towards the start of the season, more updates regarding roster changes and potential signings are expected, as teams look to finalize their lineups.
