The Chiefs signed Powell to the practice squad Tuesday.
The 2021 fifth-round pick spent all of last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, but he was waived in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Powell will be available for an elevation to the active roster should Kansas City need him in a special teams role on game day.

Powell, who finished this past season on Kansas City's practice squad, will thus have an opportunity to compete for a depth slot in the team's 2024 wideout corps. The 2021 fifth-rounder last saw regular-season action in 2022, when he suited up for three games with the Chiefs en route to recording three snaps on offense and 28 snaps as a special-teamer.

Powell was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Cornell Powell: Heads back to practice squad
Rotowire
Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Powell was activated for the second game in a row with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) both sidelined Week 12. However, the practice-squad wideout still served an extremely limited role in the Chiefs' banged-up receiving corps, playing just two of his 10 snaps on offense against the Rams. Powell has yet to record a catch in his NFL career, and he'll be eligible for one more elevation from Kansas City's practice squad this year.

Chiefs' Cornell Powell: Elevated for Week 12
Rotowire
The Chiefs elevated Powell from the practice squad Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
If Powell is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, he'll add depth to a receiver group that will be without Mecole Hardman (abdomen) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) for the Week 12 contest. Even so, Powell will still be fifth in the pecking order at wideout, and he's more likely to see snaps on special teams than on offense.

Cornell Powell: Shifts back to practice squad
Rotowire
Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Powell made his NFL debut as he was activated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's win over the Chargers. The second-year wideout figured to provide depth for Kansas City with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) ruled inactive. However, Powell did not log a target and ultimately played just one of his 16 snaps on offense Week 11. The 25-year-old will now be eligible for two more elevations while on the Chiefs practice squad this season.

Powell has been waived by the Chiefs.
Given that he was a fifth-round pick this past April, Powell was expected to make the grade, but following the team's initial roster cut-downs, Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson and Daurice Fountain are the team's current options at wideout.
