ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Matt Araiza has locked up a regular-season roster spot with the Kansas City Chiefs, as he's the only punter they have in training camp.

Araiza, however, said he won't be taking Saturday night's preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars for granted. There was a time not long ago when Araiza, who was known for his prodigious kicks when he came out of college at San Diego State two years ago, didn't think he would ever play in the NFL after his 2022 release from the Buffalo Bills.
