Summary
The Chiefs’ linebacker depth chart is heating up as they battle to fill the third spot after Leo Chenal’s departure. Fifth-round pick Jeffrey Bassa, with elite athleticism and key snaps in the season finale, could challenge for the WILL role alongside Tranquill and Bolton. Meanwhile, veteran McDonald, with solid stats and experience, looks poised to claim the SAM spot and bolster run defense. With training camp looming, injuries and performance could shift the balance — but one thing’s certain: the preseason will be the ultimate proving ground for who earns the roster spot.
