What is the story about?

Linebacker Cole Christiansen and defensive lineman Marcus Harris were activated from the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on 'Sunday Night Football.'

Christiansen is a seasoned veteran who has played for the Chiefs since 2022. A member of Kansas City's Super Bowl LVII and LVIII rosters, Christiansen should be expected to make modest contributions to the Chiefs' special teams unit if he sees the field against Indianapolis.

Harris is a third-year pass rusher who began his career as a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He signed with Kansas City in December 2025 and may get a chance to play his first snaps for the Chiefs in today's game.

While it is unclear if Christiansen or Harris will factor into Kansas City's game plan in Week 2, both players should prove to be capable backups if their number is called against the Colts.
