Kansas City Chiefs Activate 21-Day Practice Window for Wide Receiver; Former Second-Round Pick Nearing Return to Gridiron for Postseason – Report

Kansas City Chiefs WR Skyy Moore: Disappointing Sophomore Season

Moore, the 54th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, looked to take a big step forward this season with the departure of JuJu Smith-Schuster but struggled to carve out a consistent role. He recorded just five catches for 43 yards in his final five regular season games. He finished the season with 21 receptions for 244 yards and one score on 38 targets. His best game of the season came against the Jacksonville Jaguars in mid-September, catching three passes for 70 yards and a score. 

Moore posted 22 receptions for 250 yards and no touchdowns as a rookie last season. The Chiefs burned another high-valued pick on a receiver in last year’s draft, selecting SMU’s Rashee Rice with the 55th overall pick. Unlike Moore, Rice has primarily lived up to his potential. The six-foot-two wideout has 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns this year.
