The KC Chiefs 90-man roster will soon become its 53-man roster, and there’s no telling exactly what changes we’ll see come Week 1.

Coming off of a 9-7 season in 2014, the Chiefs return largely intact this year and enter the third campaign of GM John Dorsey and head coach Andy Reid. The entire defensive core returns, minus Eric Berry at this point, and that includes several key components who missed 2014 due to injuries.

The Chiefs also added nine draft picks and nearly a dozen undrafted free agents, not to mention the ongoing free agency period now, so watch closely as it should be interesting to see roster shape up.
