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.
Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Saturday that Wiley tore his ACL during Friday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. The rookie fourth-round pick has served as the Chiefs' No. 3 tight end behind starter Travis Kelce and backup Noah Gray. Wiley's rookie season will end after seven games, and he'll finish with one catch for seven yards. He'll turn his attention toward being fully healthy for the 2025 campaign.
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.
Wiley secured one of two targets for three yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night. The rookie fourth-round pick finished off the preseason in quiet fashion, matching fellow reserve tight end Irv Smith's reception and yardage totals. Wiley and Smith could potentially both make the Chiefs' roster if the team decides to go four deep at the position.
