Kansas City placed Hendershot (calf) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Hendershot suffered a calf injury during Sunday's game at Carolina, and now he'll be forced to miss at least the Chiefs' next four outings as he recovers. Travis Kelce and Noah Gray are currently the only healthy tight ends on Kansas City's 53-man roster, but it did add rookie undrafted free agent Baylor Cupp to its practice squad Tuesday.
Hendershot (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers. Hendershot suffered the injury in the second half of Sunday's game. Travis Kelce and Noah Gray would be the Chiefs' only two tight ends for the rest of the contest if Hendershot is unable to return.
The Chiefs signed Hendershot from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Hendershot began the regular season on the Chiefs' active roster but was waived Sept. 16. He oped to stay in Kansas City on the practice squad, but he's back on the 53-man roster after rookie tight end Jared Wiley suffered a torn ACL during Friday's practice. Hendershot will serve as the Chiefs' No. 3 tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray.
Hendershot signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Tuesday after clearing waivers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Hendershot was waived from the Chiefs' active roster on Monday after playing seven snaps on special teams in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals. He'll stick around in Kansas City and provide the Chiefs a safety net at tight end should Travis Kelce, Noah Gray or Jared Wiley miss time.
The Chiefs waived Hendershot on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Hendershot was traded from Dallas to Kansas City in late August made his Chiefs debut in Week 2, playing seven special-teams snaps and failing to record a single stat. With Hendershot being waived Monday, the Chiefs' tight-end room now consists of Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Jared Wiley.
Hendershot (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Ravens. Hendershot was acquired by the Chiefs in a trade with the Cowboys on Aug. 27. He's the fourth tight end on Kansas City's depth chart behind Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Jared Wiley. Hendershot's next chance at making his Chiefs debut will come against the Bengals on Sept. 15.
The Cowboys are trading Hendershot to the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. It was previously reported that Dallas was waiving the tight end, but the Chiefs apparently were interested and made a small offer to ensure he wouldn't land with a team that had higher waiver priority. Hendershot now slots in at the bottom of Kansas City's depth chart, potentially competing with rookie Jared Wiley for the No. 3 TE role.
The Cowboys waived Hendershot on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Hendershot caught on as an undrafted rookie in 2022 and made 25 regular-season appearances for Dallas over the last two years. He was said to be competing for a significant role last summer but ended up a distant third behind Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker in the Cowboys' TE room.
Hendershot caught his only target for a 10-yard gain in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers. The third-year tight end has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of training camp, but Hendershot was able to play in the Cowboys' preseason finale and haul in his lone pass late in the first quarter. With Jake Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker locked in atop the tight end depth chart, Hendershot is in a fierce battle with John Stephens, Brevyn Spann-Ford and others for one of the team's final roster spots.
