In a swift change, eight-time Pro Bowler DeAndre Hopkins finds himself in a new home. After trading him to the Kansas City Chiefs just a few days ago, the Tennessee Titans waved him goodbye. Hopkins quickly jumped into action, mastering his physical exam in Kansas City on Thursday, then diving straight into practice.
Head coach Andy Reid seems confident that Hopkins will lace up for his first game with the Chiefs against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday. "Yeah, probably, " replied Reid when asked about Hopkins's debut. "He did well in practice. He's still learning the ropes, but he's quick to pick things up. He's a smart guy, which helps a lot. "
Over the next two days, Hopkins will be buried in his playbook as the Chiefs journey to Las Vegas. "He takes his studying seriously, " added Reid. "He knows what he needs to do and isn't afraid to ask questions. I haven't had any concerns. "
Last week's standout, tight end Noah Gray, was impressed with Hopkins's quick adjustment. "He's amazing, " Gray said. "We're excited to have him on the team. "
