The Chiefs signed Oladokun to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Charles Goldman of A to Z sports reports. After failing to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Oladokun was invited back by Kansas City in mid-October to serve on the practice squad. He was elevated for Week 18 against the Broncos to serve as the backup quarterback behind Carson Wentz while Patrick Mahomes rested. Oladokun will participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp to earn a spot as the Chiefs' No. 2 quarterback behind Mahomes for the 2025 campaign.
Oladokun reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Oladokun was elevated for Week 18 against Denver with Patrick Mahomes (ankle) given the day off to rest. Oladokun served as the No. 2 quarterback in the contest behind Carson Wentz and logged five offensive snaps, carrying once for five yards and taking a six-yard loss on a sack. Mahomes will almost certainly be back in action when Kansas City plays its next game in the AFC divisional round, so Oladokun isn't expected to be active for that contest.
The Chiefs elevated Oladokun from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Patrick Mahomes (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday against Denver with Kansas City having wrapped up the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, so the Chiefs are likely to deploy Oladokun as their backup QB behind Carson Wentz. Oladokun has yet to see action in an NFL game, and he's spent the last two yeas with Kansas City's practice squad. He probably won't see much, if any, action Sunday unless Wentz is forced to exit the contest.
Kansas City signed Oladokun to the practice squad Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Oladokun takes the practice squad spot left by Bailey Zappe, who signed with Cleveland on Tuesday. A 2022 seventh-round pick who is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut, Oladokun worked as the Chiefs' practice squad quarterback last season and is familiar with the system.
Oladokun was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports. Oladokun served as a practice-squad quarterback for Kansas City last season and is a likely candidate to do so again in 2024 after not making the 53-man roster.
