And the Chiefs have added a wide receiver.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing a trade with the Tennessee Titans for wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
The Titans would receive a conditional fourth-round pick in a trade that is expected to be completed on Wednesday.

The Chiefs have had a need at wide receiver since Rashee Rice suffered a right knee injury in Week 4 that required season-ending surgery. The team lost Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to a shoulder injury in the preseason, and JuJu Smith-Schuster suffered a hamstring injury last week that has already ruled him out for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Hopkins, a 12-year veteran, is in the final season of a two-year deal he signed with the Titans in July 2013. He suffered a torn MCL during the offseason but recovered in time for the season opener.
He has 15 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown in six games this season. The five-time Pro Bowler has also played for the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals.
