Patrick Mahomes gets new receiver Bub Means for the Chiefs but can he deliver what Tyreek Hill once did?

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed wide receiver Bub Means to their practice squad to provide extra depth for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The signing follows a two-game losing streak for the 5-2 Chiefs, who recently lost 28-24 to the Denver Broncos. Means arrives after working out for the team as Kansas City prepares to host the New York Jets.

ROBERTO ORTEGA highlights the massive gap between Means' limited NFL output and former star Tyreek Hill's historic production. Means, a 2024 fifth-round pick by the New Orleans Saints, has recorded just nine catches for 118 yards in his career after missing the 2025 campaign with an ankle injury. The writer emphasizes that Means remains a developmental practice-squad addition rather than an immediate answer to Kansas City's receiving needs.
