The Chiefs are shaking things up big time for their Monday night clash against the Broncos. They just announced they’re elevating defensive tackle Marcus Harris and fullback Ben VanSumeren from the practice squad for the game. This isn’t just a regular call-up either, especially for one of these guys.
Harris Gets His Shot on the Big Stage
This is huge for Marcus Harris. The dude signed to the practice squad late last season and then came back after getting released this summer. Get this: he entered the league as a 2024 seventh-round pick for Houston, and he has **never played in a regular season game**. Ever! Now, he’s getting his chance under the lights on Monday night. That’s a wild ride for a guy looking to prove himself. Imagine getting your first taste of NFL action in a primetime game, against a division rival no less. Talk about throwing him into the fire!
VanSumeren Joins the Crew
Joining Harris is Ben VanSumeren, the fullback. He was in camp with the Bills and then landed on the Chiefs’ practice squad earlier this month. VanSumeren does have some NFL experience, appearing in 21 games for the Eagles over the last three seasons. So, he’s not completely new to the big league, but getting called up to contribute on Monday night is still a massive deal for him.
This is a one-game opportunity for both Harris and VanSumeren, as they’ll revert back to the practice squad right after the final whistle. What a stage to show what they’ve got!
