From the article

Royals did have one kick return for the Chiefs in 2025, and he took it 30 yards down the field... the door is open if Royals wants to fight for the return man job.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Royals has an opening to compete for return job after foot injury recovery.

Rookie candidate for return specialist job with opportunity to compete after returning from serious foot injury. 2024 NCAA return stats: 9 kick returns for 189 yards. Had one kick return for Chiefs in 2025 that went 30 yards; limited playing time last season may have been injury-related, but the door is open for him to fight for the return man job.
