Armstrong is listed as the sixth receiver on the Chiefs' 53-man roster prediction over Nikko Remigio; special teams coordinator Dave Toub noted Armstrong as someone he is excited about 'as a cover guy' on Monday. He has stepped up in the place of injured starting receivers this camp and has seen plenty of throws from Mahomes at practice. He appears to be more than the big-bodied, jumpball player that can fool Chiefs Kingdom at training camp.NegativeUsageAug 4, 2026

Rookie wide receiver stepped up on Monday during first full-pads practice with Cyrus Allen and Xavier Worthy unavailable. Head coach Andy Reid noted Armstrong's progression from rookie camp and that Patrick Mahomes appears to have trust in him: "Armstrong... he went through the rookie camp, and pushed through that. I thought he did a nice job there, and he has transferred that over. 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."PositiveRoleAug 3, 2026

The 6-foot-4 reserve wide receiver from Texas A&M–Commerce is drawing attention at Chiefs training camp for his physical profile and on-field performance. Armstrong pulled down a contested deep catch from Justin Fields during seven-on-sevens in a rainy practice, earning recognition as one of the team's top highlights. With Rashee Rice sidelined from live drills due to offseason knee surgery, Armstrong received numerous reps with Patrick Mahomes and the first-team offense. The Athletic's Jesse Newell compared Armstrong's longshot roster bid to Tyquan Thornton's path a year prior, noting that Armstrong's height offers a profile the Chiefs have long sought in their wideout rotation. Armstrong has never played a regular season NFL snap and will turn 26 during the coming season.NegativeProjectionJul 28, 2026
Armstrong faces long odds to make the Chiefs roster as a soon-to-be 26-year-old with no regular-season NFL experience. He went undrafted in 2025, failed to stick with the Miami Dolphins or their practice squad, and spent 15 weeks off a team before signing with Kansas City. His path to the NFL has been unconventional: a no-star recruit who redshirted at Texas A&M–Commerce, missed the 2020 season due to COVID, then broke out in 2022 with 62 catches for 1,020 yards and 13 touchdowns before transferring to Arkansas, where he totaled 134 catches for 1,904 yards and six touchdowns in two seasons.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Armstrong, a 6'4" undrafted free agent signed to a Reserve/Future contract with Kansas City in January 2026, is working to earn a roster spot in the Chiefs' receiving corps. He has drawn deliberate coaching attention from wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea during training camp, more than typical for reserve/future contract players. Armstrong has participated in extra practices with quarterback Patrick Mahomes before full squad reporting, building chemistry with the franchise quarterback. Despite being 26 years old with no regular-season NFL snaps, Armstrong is competing for a depth chart opportunity in an environment he values for its coaching quality and family ties to Kansas City.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
