Jalen Royals receives first-team reps Thursday

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Jalen Royals received first-team reps in practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

There is an opening in the Chiefs wide receiver room with Rashee Rice away from the team. "With Rashee not here, it gives Jalen some great reps at the wide receiver position," Reid said. "He looks strong out here. Running well. It's great for him. It's great for him and the quarterbacks to see what he's all about."

Jalen Royals (knee) fully practices Wednesday

Jalen Royals (knee) fully practiced for the Chiefs on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie saw almost no action despite being active in Week 3, but it doesn't seem like his knee injury is still much of an issue, as he was a full participant in Friday's practice. The team is taking their time and letting him get up to speed, so we will probably see him get more involved as the season goes along.

Jalen Royals (knee) set to practice Wednesday

Jalen Royals (knee) is set to take part in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

It looks like the rookie will be able to practice for the Chiefs on Wednesday, which is a step in the right direction for his Week 3 availability. He isn't likely to see enough work to be worth starting if Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is healthy enough to make his return to the lineup.
