Chiefs expected to reunite with veteran WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

According to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to reunite with veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last played for the team during its Super Bowl LVII campaign.

Smith-Schuster was released by the New England Patriots on August 9 and caught on with Kansas City after the Chiefs lost all three of their preseason games.

Though he has already developed a rapport with Patrick Mahomes in Andy Reid’s offense, Smith-Schuster will face an uphill battle to earn playing time and may find it difficult to push Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, Rashee Rice, and Xavier Worthy for playing time.

With this move, the Chiefs’ front office has doubled down on their commitment to revamping the team’s receiving corps after a lackluster showing from the group last season.

Stay tuned to see if Smith-Schuster suits up for Kansas City’s Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on September 5.
