Armstrong played 31 snaps in Week 7 against Seattle but recorded only 3 yards on 2 targets; he was part of a Chiefs receiver corps that combined for just 39 yards on 13 targets in the 20-3 loss.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Armstrong was part of the Chiefs' wide receiver group—Xavier Worthy, rookie Cyrus Allen, Justin Watson, Andrew Armstrong, and Jalen Royals—that produced just six receptions for 39 yards combined; the source notes this lack of production should prompt general manager Brett Veach to pursue another wide receiver ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.PositiveRoleOct 25, 2026
The Chiefs signed Andrew Armstrong to the active roster on Friday after elevating him a week ago, and this should mean more snaps for him in the offense alongside Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, and Cyrus Allen. Armstrong is expected to see increased playing time as the Chiefs address their depleted receiver room.PositiveRoleOct 23, 2026
WR signed to 53-man roster after practice squad elevation for Week 6 against the Chargers; caught 1 pass for 13 yards in NFL debut with 42 offensive snaps played; expected to get the nod again against Seattle on Sunday Night Football with Rashee Rice sidelined by hamstring injury; saw extensive preseason action and was a strong candidate to make final roster before being waived at cut deadline.PositiveRoleOct 23, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong earned a 53-man roster spot after Week 6's win over the Chargers. Armstrong entered that game as a practice squad player who hadn't appeared in a regular season game and left it with his first career catch (13-yard reception) and the third-most offensive snaps among Kansas City's wide receivers, behind only starting wide receiver Xavier Worthy and second-year wide receiver Jalen Royals.NegativeDepth ChartOct 22, 2026

Journeyman Andrew Armstrong played 42 snaps on Sunday and made the most of his opportunities with 1 reception for 13 yards. The Chiefs are his third team since joining the league as an undrafted free agent last season; on his first two teams, he didn't see the field. Sunday marked his NFL regular-season debut. While he mostly blocked, he made his first career catch in the red zone on a nice route to beat coverage, working an in-cut after beating his coverage to the spot in the middle of the field.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong was the target option on Patrick Mahomes' third-and-goal interception from the two-yard line in Week 6 against Los Angeles. Mahomes explained his thought process post-game: 'we had an option, and it was Armstrong, and it happened faster than I expected it, and so instead of just staying with it and throwing it then, I started scrambling.' The play wasn't set up for the coverage the Chargers showed, and Mahomes' scramble and subsequent throw resulted in the interception.PositiveRoleOct 19, 2026
Elevated from practice squad and made his first career start in Week 6 after Rashee Rice (hamstring) was ruled out. Played 42 offensive snaps, split between 12 slot snaps and 14 perimeter snaps, with 15 run-play assignments nearly matching Xavier Worthy (18) and Jalen Royals (17). Caught a 13-yard pass on two targets and was an impactful blocker on run plays, signaling potential roster consideration over return specialist Nikko Remigio.PositiveDepth ChartOct 18, 2026

Elevated to active roster for Week 5 game vs. Chargers as practice squad reinforcement; undrafted free agent who entered the league with Miami Dolphins in 2025 and signed a Reserve/Future contract with Kansas City in January; made a case during preseason training camp but fell victim to numbers at the position; waived during final cutdowns and immediately re-signed to the Chiefs' practice squad; assuming he is active for Sunday's contest, it will mark his NFL debut.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026

Armstrong is expected to get called up to help at wide receiver in at least one of the Chiefs' upcoming games during the bye week, serving as a depth option for the WR-depleted roster.NegativeRoleSep 2, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong is unlikely to be elevated from the practice squad despite a strong preseason. The source notes Armstrong would have been a hard player to fit onto Kansas City's game day roster and would have been a frequent gameday inactive barring injury at the position. His paths to the roster are limited to a receiver injury or the Chiefs deciding to protect him after league-wide position injuries.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026
Wide receiver described as arguably the closest to the active roster of the practice-squad members; family ties to Kansas City likely made it feel guaranteed he would pick the Chiefs over the other 31 practice squads.NegativeDepth ChartSep 1, 2026
Second-year wideout lost 53-man roster spot to Nikko Remigio but retained on practice squad; put together strong enough camp to warrant consideration, but special teams value and depth at receiver position (Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen also impressed) made him expendable; 6-foot-4 receiver built chemistry with Patrick Mahomes during training camp.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
Released by Chiefs despite strong preseason performance; led team with 7 receptions for 85 yards and impressive blocking, but unlikely to be claimed off waivers as wide receivers are rarely claimed during 53-man roster cuts; candidate for practice squad return.PositiveDepth ChartAug 29, 2026
Andrew Armstrong is projected to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster as one of six receivers, claiming one of the last roster spots as a taller red zone weapon while flashing as an excellent run blocker; Armstrong led the Chiefs with five catches for 54 yards in Friday's game.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong was Garrett Nussmeier's favorite target in the preseason finale, making his case for a roster spot with diving catches, sideline toe taps, and physicality; the source indicates he's competing for a 53-man roster position and has demonstrated the skill set to earn it.PositiveRoleAug 29, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong led the team with five catches for 54 yards in the preseason finale. The source identifies him as a big-bodied receiver who is a strong player within a receiving corps that lacks overall play strength, positioning him as a valuable depth option.PositiveUsageAug 29, 2026
Led all pass catchers with 54 yards over five receptions, including a 20-yard completion early in the game, establishing him as a primary target for Nussmeier.NegativeDepth ChartAug 25, 2026
Armstrong is competing with Nikko Remigio, Jared Wiley, Jake Briningstool, and Trey Watson for three remaining roster spots; the source suspects the final roster decision will be whether to keep Armstrong as a seventh wide receiver or instead keep a fourth tight end, noting Armstrong could theoretically offer enough as a rotational red zone target to not need a fourth tight end.PositiveUsageAug 24, 2026
Wide receiver was targeted on a deep shot down the left sideline in preseason Week 2, a play that helped set up the Chiefs inside the Tampa Bay red zone after Bucs cornerback Roman Parodie was called for pass interference.PositiveRoleAug 22, 2026

Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong led all Chiefs players in offensive snaps with 41, tying quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, and added 5 special teams snaps. Armstrong made a strong impression in camp as a pass catcher and took advantage of his first live contact opportunity in the preseason game. He made a nice catch and turned up the sideline, appeared to have a step on a deep pass toward the back of the end zone, and showed effective blocking when called upon, not wasting his reps.PositiveRoleAug 16, 2026
Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong, lower on the depth chart, made his mark primarily through blocking rather than receiving production (1 target, 17-yard catch). At 6'4", 210 pounds, Armstrong has the frame to serve as a big-bodied receiver capable of pancake blocks in the running and screen game—a role the Chiefs need. His blocking performance may have taken a significant step toward winning a roster spot.PositiveRoleAug 15, 2026
Armstrong, an undrafted free agent who spent time on the practice squads of the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, was named 1st-team All-SEC by the AP, 2nd-team All-SEC by the Coaches, and Phil Steele All-American Honorable Mention. He expressed excitement about playing for the Chiefs in his hometown environment, emphasizing his commitment to the serious, professional atmosphere of the organization.NegativeBreakoutAug 14, 2026
Armstrong is in backup competition at wide receiver; the source's high level of concern about the fragility of the Chiefs' starting receiving corps can subside if Armstrong and others prove to be quality role players in the regular season, suggesting he is a key depth piece to monitor.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
Armstrong has stepped up in place of injured starting receivers during camp and has seen plenty of throws from Mahomes at practice; special teams coordinator Dave Toub noted Armstrong as someone he is excited about 'as a cover guy' on Monday; he appears to be more than the big-bodied, jumpball player that can fool Chiefs Kingdom at training camp, making him the source's choice over Nikko Remigio for the sixth receiver spot.PositiveRoleAug 5, 2026
Wide receiver has stepped up in practice with Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen absent. Reid praised Armstrong's development: 'I like what Armstrong's doing. He's a big kid, strong, looks like the quarterbacks trust him… they trust him on his route running.

Rookie receiver stepping up in camp with Mahomes' trust; one of three starting receivers in air drills alongside Rice and Thornton. Reid noted Armstrong transferred strong performance from rookie camp into team drills: 'It looks like Pat has trust in him. So I think that's a plus; he's getting better every day. Big target, strong… I like that part of it.' Armstrong's size and receiving ability positioning him as an early favorite target for Mahomes.PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026

Undrafted free agent WR signed to Chiefs Reserve/Future contract in January 2025 after stints with Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions practice squad; competing for roster spot during training camp at Missouri Western State University. Armstrong, 6'4", has strong family ties to Kansas City and is receiving deliberate coaching attention from wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea, who is noted for working with him more deliberately than typical Reserve/Future contract players. Armstrong has built chemistry with QB Patrick Mahomes through extra practices before full squad reports, positioning himself as a long-shot candidate to make the roster despite being a soon-to-be 26-year-old with no regular-season NFL snaps.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Receiver Andrew Armstrong was targeted by Patrick Mahomes in red-zone 7-on-7 drills during Chiefs training camp but had the pass broken up by rookie cornerback Jadon Canady. Limited context on Armstrong's overall camp performance or role.PositiveRoleJul 26, 2026
