Cornell Powell: Dropped from practice squad
Powell was released from the Chiefs' practice squad on Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Powell failed to make Kansas City's final 53-man roster during training camp, but he ultimately returned to the practice unit on Oct. 22. His exit after nearly one month with the team was a corresponding move in order to add fellow pass catcher Tyquan Thornton. The 2021 fifth-round pick will now be on the lookout for a new opportunity.

Chiefs' Cornell Powell: Back with Super Bowl champs
The Chiefs signed Powell on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Powell, who finished this past season on Kansas City's practice squad, will thus have an opportunity to compete for a depth slot in the team's 2024 wideout corps. The 2021 fifth-rounder last saw regular-season action in 2022, when he suited up for three games with the Chiefs en route to recording three snaps on offense and 28 snaps as a special-teamer.

Cornell Powell: Joins KC's practice squad
The Chiefs added Powell (hamstring) to their practice squad Wednesday.
Powell was nursing a hamstring injury prior to getting waived during final roster cuts, so his subsequent addition to Kansas City's practice squad indicates he has put the issue behind him. The 25-year-old has spent his first two seasons bouncing back and forth between the Chiefs' practice and active rosters, and is looking at a similar scenario in 2023.

Cornell Powell: Dropped by the Chiefs
Powell was waived without any injury designation by Kansas City on Tuesday.
Powell tweaked his hamstring during the Chiefs' 33-32 preseason victory versus the Browns on Aug. 26, but he was not tagged with any injury designation when Kansas City cut him loose Tuesday. The 2021 fifth-round pick spent most of last season on the Chiefs' practice squad, and he received a reserve/future contract in January after being elevated for three games in 2022. Should he clear waivers, Powell could be a prime candidate to rejoin the team's practice squad ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Chiefs' Cornell Powell: Gets new deal with Chiefs
Kansas City signed Powell (undisclosed) to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Cornell Powell: Placed on injured list
The Chiefs placed Powell (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Monday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
It's unclear exactly what injury Powell is dealing with, but he'll now be ineligible to play for at least the Chiefs' next four games. As a result, his earliest possible chance to return would come if the team makes it to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 12. However, it the Chiefs secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a subsequent first-round bye in the playoffs, then Powell will not be able to return before the end of the season. The second-year wideout has not recorded a target over three appearances this season.

Cornell Powell: Returns to practice squad
Powell reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Powell was elevated to serve as the team's fifth receiver against the Bengals, as Kadarius Toney remained out with a hamstring injury. The former played five snaps on special teams, but he failed to tally any stats. If Toney remains out Week 14 against the Broncos, Powell may find himself with another opportunity on the active roster.
