Wanya Morris: Everything you need to know

Morris was traded to the Falcons by the Chiefs on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. The 2023 third-round pick started 16 regular-season games across three seasons with Kansas City, but he found himself on the outside looking in at KC's starting lineup for 2026. Jake Matthews and Jawaan Taylor project as Atlanta's starting tackles for the upcoming season, but Morris might have a chance to compete for time.

The Chiefs and OT Wanya Morris agreed to explore trade options Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. Morris has spent his entire three-year career in Kansas City but is looking to join a new team where he could see more playing time. The 25-year-old landed on the injured reserve last December with a knee injury but is now healthy again and participating in organized team activities.

The Chiefs placed Morris (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Morris sustained a season-ending knee injury during the Week 14 loss to the Texans, so his move to injured reserve comes as no surprise. Jaylon Moore and Esa Pole are expected to serve as the team's starting tackles for Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers, as Jawaan Taylor (triceps) is also out. Morris will shift his focus to getting healthy in time for the start of the 2026 campaign.
