Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs will try to bounce back after losing the last Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles. While their core group remains intact with stars like Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, and Travis Kelce, the big question is whether the supporting cast will be enough.
Now, a report from Dianna Russini indicates that the Chiefs are looking to strengthen one of the most important offensive positions, which underperformed in 2024. “Sources: Teams making calls in search of running back additions include the Saints, Browns and Chiefs.”
It’s important to remember that the Chiefs have plenty of question marks on offense. Rashee Rice will be suspended, though the length is still unknown, and in free agency they lost names like DeAndre Hopkins.
Who are the Chiefs’ running backs now?
At the moment, the Kansas City Chiefs’ depth chart lists Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Elijah Mitchell, and Brashard Smith as their available running backs before the start of the 2025 season.
However, injuries are always an unpredictable factor. Reid hasn’t forgotten that in 2024, Pacheco suffered a fractured fibula in Week 2, and although Hunt’s return was a welcome surprise, they will need more power in the backfield to remain contenders in the AFC.
