A to Z Sports later published a list of nine recent cuts – including Andrew Armstrong – that it argued the Chiefs should consider re‑signing to the practice squad. This discrepancy highlights a lack of alignment between external analysis and the team’s disclosed actions.

Across the league, the same deadline spurred a flurry of practice‑squad announcements. The Vikings signed 15 players and traded quarterback JJ McCarthy, the Lions added Luke Altmyer and several others, the Broncos reportedly filled 17 spots, the Colts projected their cuts, the Eagles detailed both free‑agent targets and waiver claims, and the Dolphins received seven players via waivers.

Each outlet chronicled its team’s roster reshuffle, underscoring the breadth of the league‑wide roster overhaul. With the Chiefs’ active list now public and Garrett Nussmeier confirmed on the roster, the next step is the official practice‑squad announcement, which the Arrowhead Pride tracker will update in real time.
