Armstrong, a journeyman undrafted free agent in his second season, played 42 snaps on Sunday and took advantage of his opportunities. While he mostly blocked, he made the most of his chances, including his first career NFL regular-season catch in the red zone on a nice route to beat coverage. The play was basic, but Armstrong's performance on his debut with the Chiefs demonstrates he can contribute and earn more playing time.

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.

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.
