Chiefs' Jeffrey Bassa: Four tackles in preseason opener
Rotowire
Bassa (groin) recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Rams.
Bassa was dealing with a groin injury at training camp, but he was ultimately able to give it a go in the preseason opener. The linebacker was able to play 43 percent of the defensive snaps in the contest, and he'll have two more opportunities to build off of his performance during the preseason.

The Chiefs selected Bassa in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 156th overall.
Bassa entered Oregon as a safety but has since transitioned to play in the box as an inside linebacker. It shouldn't come as a surprise that he's capable both against the run and pass as a result, giving him a solid skillset for the position. The Chiefs have a solid linebacker corps, but Bassa could be ready to step into a bigger role as a rookie if injuries occur.
