The Tennessee ******* ans were awarded three players off waivers on Monday. Among the new additions was cornerback Melvin Smith. The ******* ans also signed safety Terrell Burgess and offensive tackle James Hudson, making five total additions after the initial 53-man roster was set.
Smith entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Kansas City Chiefs last offseason. ******* ans GM Mike Borgonzi was already in Tennessee, meaning he isn't directly connected to Smith through his KC days. It's safe to ******* ume the tendencies he searches for in late-round cornerbacks is still in place with the Chiefs, however.
Smith played 47 total snaps for the Chiefs during this recent preseason period. The former Southern Arkansas standout allowed four receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown, per Pro Football Focus. He also had six tackles.
The ******* ans waived Erick Hallett II to make room for Smith on the 53-man roster. It was a bit surprising, because Hallett played pretty well throughout training camp and the preseason. He has since been re-signed to the practice squad, so at least Borgonzi managed to retain him.
Smith did not play a single regular-season snap for the Chiefs in 2025. He essentially spent his entire rookie campaign on the practice squad. The Chiefs brought in multiple new cornerbacks this offseason, including former ******* ans L'Jarius Sneed and Kristian Fulton. They also drafted multiple corners, including first-round pick Mansoor Delane. That made Smith expendable to them.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a huge investment in rookie defensive back Mansoor Delane back in April — trading up to the No. 6 pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select the former LSU Tigers standout.
While Delane is expected to play a key role in Kansas City's defense this season, his full participation in practices at Chiefs training camp was delayed due to a shoulder injury that kept him from taking part in full-contact drills.
On Monday, August 17, Delane took his first unrestricted repetitions at Kansas City's workouts and made a great first impression on fans and members of the media who were in attendance at Missouri Western State University.
Take a look at these videos of Delane dominating in practice, which were posted to Twitter by various accounts:

Promising Chiefs rookie receiver Cyrus Allen exited Saturday's practice on a cart. The injury happened while he was filling the role of gunner on the punt team.
That has prompted some Chiefs fans to question why in the ****** Cyrus Allen was serving as a gunner on the punt team.
Chiefs special-teams coordinator Dave Toub addressed the issue in a post-practice press conference with reporters.
"I hate to see somebody get hurt, especially on special teams," Toub said, via Nate Taylor of ESPN. "He's doing well on offense and for me, too. He was a gunner and a returner. Everyone is on special teams until they aren't. Everyone starts as a four-phase guy, especially rookies."
Toub added that first-round cornerback Mansoor Delane would also be practicing on special teams, but for his shoulder injury. Toub also said that, once upon a time, tight end Travis Kelce practiced on special teams.

Early on, most vibes coming out of the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph have been positive through three full-squad workouts.
One unfortunate exception has been the status of rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane, the sixth overall selection in April's draft. Delane suffered a shoulder injury earlier this summer in organized team activities (OTAs). He was reportedly just cleared for practice as rookies arrived to St. Joseph last week.
Delane has participated in every practice dating to the rookie portion last weekend. He has worn a yellow, non-contact jersey each time.
Speaking after Friday's session, head coach Andy Reid described Delane as in an unusual position of practicing while still recovering from injury.
"He's a tough kid," the coach remarked. "He was a state wrestling champ and all that stuff. Tough kid. He wants to be out there. He wants to do everything. We're not allowing him to use that arm. He's out there playing kind of one-handed. Until he's completely clear, we're going to keep an eye on him."

Rookies for the Kansas City Chiefs will be reporting to the team’s training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph later today. When we are able to see the full squad next week, rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane will be among the players under the most scrutiny. Because of the price the Chiefs gave up moving up three slots to sixth overall for Delane, there will be little patience for talk of a rookie curve.
When **** sing his camp, we will need to remember that cornerback mistakes are often magnified, and the position is rarely noticed when a player is performing well. That said, Delane needs to establish himself as one of the best in the league at his position quickly.

According to Kevin Patra of NFL.com, exceptional coaching and the return of Patrick Mahomes could help the Kansas City Chiefs win their division in 2026.
"Reid and Spags are among the best at what they do," Patra said of the Chiefs' legendary coaching duo in a recent article. "Any holes on the roster can be covered by coaching. Last year, seven of the Chiefs' eight losses with Mahomes under center were by one score. With the QB projected to return healthy and an easier schedule, Kansas City has the makings of a return to power."
The acquisition of Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III and the tentative return of Rashee Rice for an entire 17-game season should help buoy Reid's offense when Mahomes returns. Rookie additions — including first-round picks Mansoor Delane and Peter Woods — are expected to play a key role in Spagnuolo's new-look Chiefs defense as Kansas City seeks another Super Bowl berth.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially finished signing their rookie class from the 2026 NFL Draft and commemorated the occasion with a post to their official Twitter account.
From first-round picks Mansoor Delane and Peter Woods to seventh-round selection Garrett Nussmeier, Kansas City's latest signings mark key additions to the Chiefs' roster on both sides of the ball.
While it remains to be seen how often head coach Andy Reid will elect to throw his newly-signed rookies into action during their first year of NFL competition, the former NCAA standouts will all have an opportunity to begin finding their niche in Kansas City's system when mandatory OTAs start on June 9.
During the Chiefs' offseason program, all of Kansas City's draft picks — including Delane, Woods, Nussmeier, R Mason Thomas, Jadon Canady, Emmett Johnson, and Cyrus Allen — should be expected to build rapport with their veteran counterparts before Chiefs training camp begins in late July.
Stay tuned to see how all of Kansas City's first-year standouts will fare during their first taste of NFL practice sessions.
