The Kansas City Chiefs released their third depth chart of 2019.
For the most part, there are no big changes from the last depth chart. Keep in mind that these are generally assembled by the team’s PR staff and not the coaching staff. They are unofficial and not set in stone. You have to take them with a grain of salt because of that.
The team will continue to release depth charts ahead of each preseason game but don’t expect them to reflect much more than additions and subtractions from the roster. This specific depth chart is dated August 13 and it is already August 20.
Take a look at the third depth chart and some observations below.
Offense
| Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
| QB | Patrick Mahomes | Chad Henne | Chase Litton | Kyle Shurmur |
| RB | Damien Williams | Carlos Hyde | Darrel Williams | Darwin Thompson; Marcus Marshall; Tremon Smith |
| FB | Anthony Sherman | John Lovett | ||
| WR | Tyreek Hill | Demarcus Robinson | Gehrig Dieter | Rashard Davis; Cody Thompson; Felton Davis; Jody Fortson |
| WR | Sammy Watkins | Mecole Hardman | Byron Pringle | Marcus Kemp; Jamal Custis; Davon Grayson |
| TE | Travis Kelce | Deon Yelder | Blake Bell | Nick Keizer; John Lovett; Manasseh Garner |
| LT | Eric Fisher | Cameron Erving | Dino Boyd | |
| LG | Andrew Wylie | Nick Allegretti | Abdul Beecham | Zack Golditch |
| C | Austin Reiter | Jimmy Murray | ||
| RG | Laurent Duvernay-Tardif | Kahlil McKenzie | Ryan Hunter | |
| RT | Mitchell Schwartz | Pace Murphy | Chidi Okeke |
Observations:
- The latest iteration of the depth chart includes the addition of TE/FB Manasseh Garner. Even though the Chiefs had already signed him ahead of Saturday’s game, it wasn’t reflected on the depth chart.
- RB Josh Caldwell, who just signed with the Bears, is no longer listed on the depth chart.
- There have not been any changes reflected on the depth chart even though we’ve seen some players start ahead of others. For instance, Dino Boyd played second-team right tackle ahead of Pace Murphy.
- Jeff Allen hasn’t officially been signed by the Chiefs yet so he isn’t reflected on the depth chart.

Observations:
- Hunter Dimick is reflected on the new depth chart. It only took two games, but he’s finally on there.
- Keith Reaser is no longer on the depth chart. He was sent to injured reserve ahead of preseason Week 2, but it wasn’t yet reflected on the depth chart.
- Again, there have not been any changes reflected on the depth chart even though we’ve seen some players jump others in the game. For instance, Herb Miller played with the second-team defense but is listed with the third team.
