Chiefs' Tershawn Wharton: Stays in Kansas City
Wharton re-signed with the Chiefs on a one-year, $2.75 million contract Thursday, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Wharton has been a regular on the interior of Kansas City's defensive line in each of the past four seasons since going undrafted out of Missouri S&T. That trend should continue in 2024 for a fifth season after a 2023 campaign that saw him record 21 combined tackles, including 2.0 sacks, on 385 defensive snaps across 17 regular-season contests.

Chiefs' Tershawn Wharton: Gets in full practice Tuesday
Wharton was a full participant at practice Tuesday ahead of Thursday's game versus Detroit.
After sustaining a torn ACL last season in Week 5, Wharton has recovered enough that he should play in Week 1 of the 2023 season versus the Lions. Kansas City will need to lean heavily on Wharton to try to slow down Detroit's rushing attack, as it appears 2022 All-Pro Chris Jones is unlikely to be available as he tries to negotiate a contract extension.

Chiefs' Tershawn Wharton: Sees field for first time Saturday
Wharton saw his first playing time of the preseason in Saturday's 33-32 win over the Browns, Pete Sweeney of SB Nation reports.

He didn't see much playing time Saturday, but head coach Andy Reid noted that it was good to get Wharton in and to get his "adrenaline knocked off a little bit."

Chiefs' Tershawn Wharton: Officially moves to PUP list
The Chiefs placed Wharton (knee) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
As expected, Wharton, who tore his ACL in Week 5 last season, won't be cleared to practice to start training camp. However, he'll be eligible to practice and/or play at any point during the preseason whenever the Chiefs deem him ready. If Wharton remains out for the entirety of the preseason, he can be shifted to the reserve/PUP list and not count against the Kansas City roster. However, if that ends up being the case, he would be ineligible to suit up for the first four weeks of the regular season.

The Chiefs placed Wharton (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Wharton suffered a torn ACL during the Chiefs' Week 5 win over the Raiders and is set to miss the remainder of the campaign, so his move to IR was simply transactional.
