Re-Sign Rookie WR 1048 Yard and 7 Touchdown to Practice Squad Just 48 Hours After Release
Kansas City, Missouri
Just two days after parting ways with a promising young receiver, the Kansas City Chiefs made a quick and surprising move — bringing him right back into the fold. The decision, announced early this week, comes as part of the team’s ongoing adjustments to strengthen its offensive depth amid injuries and roster changes in the wide receiver room.
The young wideout, known for his size, speed, and strong hands, had been a quiet standout during training camp and preseason, showing flashes of potential that impressed coaches and teammates alike. His college career spoke volumes — 1,048 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns across four seasons at Baylor — and his chemistry with backup quarterbacks during camp made him a natural fit for the Chiefs’ developmental roster.
According to team insiders, Kansas City moved quickly after his release earlier in the week, ensuring that the rookie wouldn’t be picked up by another team. Head coach Andy Reid reportedly pushed for his return, citing his work ethic and understanding of the offense as reasons to keep him close.
When asked about being brought back so soon, the rookie smiled and spoke with emotion:
“Chiefs are family. This organization believed in me from day one, and even when things got uncertain, I knew my heart was still here. Chiefs are family — and they’ll always be in my heart.”
The player? None other than Hal Presley, the 6’3”, 210-pound receiver whose perseverance and humility have quickly made him a favorite among teammates.
His re-signing marks another example of Kansas City’s commitment to developing young talent — and for Presley, it’s a second chance to prove that sometimes, family doesn’t let go that easily.
