Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Sees first pro action in Week 4
Jalen Royals accrued zero targets during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Ravens.Royals didn't accumulate any snaps in any of the first three weeks, but the Kansas City Chiefs took hold of a sizable lead against the Ravens, enough so that in the second half, the bench players got into the mix. Royals remains buried on the depth chart at this juncture, and there's little reason to anticipate that changing, especially with Rashee Rice's six-game suspension expiring prior to the Week 7 clash with the Raiders.

Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Not involved in Week 3
Jalen Royals did not record a single snap in Sunday's 22-9 win over the Giants.Royals was active for the first time in his rookie season, however, he did not see the field at all in the contest. The rookie wideout has been dealing with knee tendinitis since mid-August, but he was finally healthy enough to suit up in Week 3. Despite this, the coaching staff decided to keep Royals off the field after he practiced for the first time in a month ahead of Week 3. It's plausible to think the 22-year-old will continue to develop and see some usage in the Kansas City Chiefs passing attack, but the impending returns of Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Rashee Rice (suspension) likely will make it difficult for Royals to see a consistent role on offense. The Utah State product will look to see his first game action in Week 4 when the Chiefs host the Ravens.

Chiefs' Jalen Royals: NFL debut in Week 3?
Jalen Royals (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.Despite practicing in full both Thursday and Friday, Royals is still questionable to play in Sunday's contest. The 2025 fourth-round pick from Utah State has yet to make his NFL debut after posting 126 receptions for 1,914 yards and 21 touchdowns over his final two seasons in college. If Royals is able to take the field in Week 3, he'll likely play a depth role in the Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver corps.

Chiefs' Jalen Royals: Pro debut delayed again
Jalen Royals (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.Royals thus will push back his pro debut one more week due to the knee tendinitis that has bothered him since at least Aug. 18. He has yet to practice this season, so until he does he likely won't be a candidate to suit up on game days. No. 1 WR Xavier Worthy is tending to a dislocated right shoulder that he suffered Week 1, so even if he's available whenever Royals is able to suit up, the former may not be operating at full capacity, thereby opening up snaps and targets for the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs' receiving corps.
