2022 KC Chiefs Projected Depth Chart:
With that being said, there are 11 players on the field for each
team at a time. So, here’s how I think the roster will break down. The 1st name
is the starter, and the other names at each position, are his chronological
backups. By the end, I wonder how close I get to who makes the roster.
There are 53 men on the football roster. At the beginning of
training camp (July), and Pre-Season (August), the team starts out with 90. And
by the beginning of the 1st week of the Regular Season (which
is usually the 1st week of September), they cut the Pre-Season
roster to 53.
