Wiley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site site reports.
Despite being healthy, Wiley didn't see any action in the Chiefs' first two games of the 2026 campaign. That trend will continue Sunday versus the Dolphins, meaning his next opportunity to get involved will come in Week 4 against the Raiders.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: Minimal action in 2025
Rotowire
Wiley finished the 2025 regular season with one reception for four yards in five games.
Wiley struggled to see the field for the Chiefs in 2025, as Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Robert Tonyan were all ahead on the depth chart. Wiley played just 52 total snaps (28 offensive and 24 on special teams) as the No.4 tight end. The 25-year-old has two more seasons under contract with Kansas City heading into 2026.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: No work on offense in Week 14
Rotowire
Wiley played all three of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.
Wiley was one of four active tight ends for Kansas City in Week 14, but the team didn't have any snaps available on offense for him behind Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Robert Tonyan. The second-year player suited up for just the second time all season after recording a four-yard reception over nine snaps on offense a week earlier in the Chiefs' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: One catch in preseason opener
Rotowire
Wiley (undisclosed) brought in his only target for two yards in the Chiefs' 20-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.
Wiley had missed practice last Saturday with an undisclosed injury, but the 2024 fourth-round pick was able to participate in Saturday's contest and make a minimal impact. Wiley, who had only one catch over seven regular-season appearances during his rookie campaign, may have a difficult time beating out veteran Robert Tonyan for the third spot on the depth chart, but the former is likely to get a prolonged look over the Chiefs' last two preseason contests.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: Working with knee brace
Rotowire
Wiley (ACL) is participating in positional drills at mandatory minicamp Tuesday with a brace on his right knee, Sports Radio 810 WHB reports.
Head coach Andy Reid said in April that Wiley, who tore his ACL last November, is doing well in his recovery. It's encouraging that he's already taking part in individual drills, but the 2024 fourth-round pick may not be fully cleared for training camp or Week 1. Noah Gray remains positioned as the No. 2 tight end behind Travis Kelce for Kansas City, so once fully recovered Wiley will likely find himself competing with Robert Tonyan for the No. 3 spot.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: Recovery going well
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday that Wiley (knee) is "doing well," Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Wiley tore his ACL during practice early in November 2024, limiting him to just seven regular-season appearances. In those contests, the TCU product played 88 offensive snaps and caught his only target for seven yards. While Reid did not provide a precise timetable for Wiley's return, the 24-year-old may be on track to return for the start of Kansas City's 2025 campaign.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: Placed on IR
Rotowire
The Chiefs placed Wiley (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Wiley suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Friday's practice. The rookie fourth-round pick will shift his attention toward being healthy for the 2025 season. The Chiefs signed Peyton Hendershot from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Chiefs' Jared Wiley: One catch through six games
Rotowire
Wiley played 10 of the Chiefs' 70 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 28-18 win over the 49ers.
The fourth-round rookie out of TCU has suited up in each of the Chiefs' first six games but has just one reception to his name. While Travis Kelce and Noah Gray both remain healthy and ahead of him on the depth chart at tight end, Wiley won't have much opportunity to see involvement in the passing game.
