According to the NFL’s official transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver Cornell Powell on Wednesday.
The Chiefs drafted Powell in the fifth round (181st overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft after a five-year college career at Clemson. Surprisingly, he was cut out of training camp his rookie season, and he joined Kansas City’s practice squad.
Powell has signed reserve/future contracts each offseason since but has never found a spot on the 53-man roster. Powell was elevated to the active roster three times in the 2022 season and played a total of 28 snaps on special teams.
