Chiefs' John Michael Gyllenborg: Placed on PUP list
Rotowire
The Chiefs placed Gyllenborg (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Saturday.
Gyllenborg can be activated off the PUP list at any time, but he will be limited to sideline work until healthy. The 23-year-old signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming back in April and will look to compete for a depth spot once healthy.

John Michael Gyllenborg: Signing with Kansas City
Rotowire
Gyllenborg is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Gyllenborg is fast for a tight end, posting a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine despite his 6-foot-5, 249-pound frame. The Wyoming graduate started 19 games over three years, totaling 1,002 yards and seven receiving touchdowns from 2023 to 2025. He has a knack for identifying and settling down in zones and has the speed to threaten defenses down the field. The 23-year-old's biggest flaws revolve around his inability to box out defenders on 50/50 balls and a tendency to jump unnecessarily at the catch point. The Wyoming staff says Gyllenborg is a breeze to coach, so the Chiefs should have some luck fixing the issues that have hindered him as a pass catcher. They will also need to work on elevating the tight end's abilities as an inline blocker, but with proper improvement, Gyllenborg could work his way up the depth chart by the end of camp.
