Kansas City Chiefs fans had to wonder ahead of Thursday’s third preseason contest against the Green Bay Packers: Does this game have any significance?
The answer now seems to be a resounding “yes,” as a pair of surprises on the Chiefs’ final 53-man roster released Tuesday appeared to win their way onto the team based upon that final-look performance.
One of them was running back Ronald Jones, who spent most of training camp running with the team’s third- and fourth-string offense. When given a chance to go behind the Chiefs’ first-team offensive line against Green Bay, however, he displayed strength and vision while rushing eight times for 43 yards.
