The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to Las Vegas for a divisional showdown against the Raiders in Week 4.
Just one day ahead of the pivotal AFC West matchup, the Chiefs are elevating a two-time Super Bowl champion to their active 53-man roster from the practice squad.
For the third time this season, the Chiefs are calling up linebacker Cole Christiansen from the practice squad to join the 53-man roster.
Players can only be elevated from the practice squad three times in a single season, which means this is the final time the Chiefs can make this move with Christiansen. If they want to bring him back to the roster beyond this game, they will have to sign him to active roster contract. However, that does not apply to being elevated for postseason games.
Linebacker Cooper McDonald could return in Week 6 , which would likely eliminate the need for Christiansen to be on the active roster. Christiansen has posted two tackles on the season. All 28 snaps he has played this season have been on special teams. Christiansen has been with Kansas City since signing with them back in 2022, winning two Super Bowls with the franchise.
