Chiefs WR injuries have opened a door for preseason standout Andrew Armstrong

Injuries to wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton during Week 4 have created an opportunity for practice squad standout Andrew Armstrong with the Kansas City Chiefs. Matt Conner of Arrowhead Addict argues that Armstrong represents an obvious internal candidate for promotion to the active roster following his impressive performances during the preseason.

Thornton suffered a dislocated ankle expected to sideline him for 12 to 16 weeks, while Rice is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Conner notes that Armstrong or Omari Evans could provide immediate depth, though external acquisitions by general manager Brett Veach remain a possibility.
