The Kansas City Chiefs waived backup running back ShunDerrick Powell on April 29 after selecting Emmett Johnson in the 2026 NFL Draft. Powell, a native of Hoxie, Arkansas, signed a reserve/future deal with the Chiefs in January after spending part of the 2025 season with the Philadelphia Eagles. Powell never took the field for Kansas City. The Chiefs likely waived him due to their investment in Johnson, who will almost certainly make the team's 53-man roster after training camp. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach will continue to shape the team's backfield during the offseason training program.
