VanSumeren played 79% of the team's special teams snaps and saw the field on offense for three plays... Look for No. 47 on offense and special teams in Week 2; the more he is on the field with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the more it represents the team's turn to physicality this season.

VanSumeren logged 79% special teams snaps in Week 1; multi-phase role signals Chiefs' physicality shift.

In Week 1 practice-squad elevation, VanSumeren played 79% of the Chiefs' special teams snaps and saw the field on offense for three plays. The source notes he was 'used like this at times during preseason in 2025,' suggesting a multi-phase role. Toub indicated VanSumeren will be a 'four-phase guy' going forward, with his presence on field alongside Patrick Mahomes representing the team's 'turn to physicality this season.'
