Less than a full week after having joined his third team since the start of last season, it would be understandable if Kelvin Benjamin’s head remained in a high-spin cycle. Still, the Chiefs’ newest wide receiver didn’t show a hint of being overwhelmed as he stretched at his locker before Tuesday’s practice.
Benjamin, who the Buffalo Bills waived last week, had his first practice with the Chiefs last Friday. When Thursday night ends, he may have hauled in his first catch in a game for the Chiefs.
It’s unlikely Benjamin will play an extended amount of time on Thursday, but the Chiefs’ offense may need help at wide receiver with Sammy Watkins sidelined with a foot injury and leading receiver Tyreek Hill limited in practice this week after sustaining a heel injury last weekend against Baltimore.
