The Kansas City Chiefs released their first unofficial depth chart for the 2026 NFL preseason on August 10, giving fans a better idea of what to expect in the team's August 15 exhibition against the Los Angeles Rams at Arrowhead Stadium. While there weren't any major surprises for Kansas City's first-string offense, the Chiefs made a few adjustments to their defense that might be indications of coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's revised strategy for the new season.
