What happened: Kansas City used standard elevations on defensive tackle Marcus Harris and fullback Ben VanSumeren, making both available for its Week 2 game. Harris returned to the Chiefs' practice squad on Sept. 3 after the club released Cole Brevard.
Why it matters: The move gives Kansas City extra depth on the defensive interior and at fullback without using a permanent 53-man roster spot. Standard elevations also keep the club flexible for postgame roster decisions as the regular season moves into Week 2.
By the numbers: Harris' elevation came 11 days after he rejoined Kansas City's practice squad.
What to watch: The inactive list before kickoff will show whether both elevations turn into active game-day roles. Usage on interior defensive snaps and fullback packages will indicate how much each call-up factors into the plan.
