12 Chiefs Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline
4. Chukwuebuka "Chu" Godrick, OT
"Chu" Godrick is a promising tackle prospect out of the NFL's International Player Pathway program, the same that landed Louis Rees-Zammit in Kansas City. The six-foot-five, 293-pound offensive lineman originally joined the practice squad in 2023 and showed a lot of promise throughout the summer, so he'll likely be someone who sticks on the practice squad after initial cuts go through.
Godrick has a legitimate argument to make the roster, though Lucas Niang is clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, as are versatile linemen like Wanya Morris and Mike Caliendo.
Given the level of competition at a variety of other positions on the roster, Godrick is a logical cut candidate to get down to 53 by Tuesday.
Chu Godrick took over for Wanya Morris at left tackle on the last drive. Morris remains on the sideline but doesn't have his helmet. Wouldn't appear too serious but clearly he's probably done for tonight.

If the injury Morris sustained on Thursday keeps him out for a significant period of time or even lands him on the Injured Reserve list, Godrick has a path to a roster spot. However, Andy Reid said after the contest that Morris' injury didn't seem severe, reducing the likelihood that Godrick sticks around.
Reid typically likes to keep extra offensive linemen, but similar to seventh-round pick C.J. Hanson, Godrick's most likely outcome remains on the practice squad.
