Chris Oladokun Injury News & Updates

Oladokun signed with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Oladokun will provide organizational depth under center behind rostered quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew. Oladokun went unclaimed after being waived Tuesday.

Oladokun was waived by the Chiefs on Tuesday.

Oladokun signed a reserve/future contract with Kansas City in February after spending the majority of the 2024 campaign on the team's practice squad. The quarterback completed 11 of 23 passes for 120 yards and turned two carries into 36 rushing yards over three preseason contests with the team. If Oladokun clears waivers, he'll likely stick around as a member of the Chiefs' practice squad in 2025.

The Chiefs signed Oladokun to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Charles Goldman of A to Z sports reports.

After failing to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Oladokun was invited back by Kansas City in mid-October to serve on the practice squad. He was elevated for Week 18 against the Broncos to serve as the backup quarterback behind Carson Wentz while Patrick Mahomes rested. Oladokun will participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp to earn a spot as the Chiefs' No. 2 quarterback behind Mahomes for the 2025 campaign.

Oladokun reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Oladokun was elevated for Week 18 against Denver with Patrick Mahomes (ankle) given the day off to rest. Oladokun served as the No. 2 quarterback in the contest behind Carson Wentz and logged five offensive snaps, carrying once for five yards and taking a six-yard loss on a sack. Mahomes will almost certainly be back in action when Kansas City plays its next game in the AFC divisional round, so Oladokun isn't expected to be active for that contest.

The Chiefs elevated Oladokun from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Patrick Mahomes (ankle) isn't expected to play Sunday against Denver with Kansas City having wrapped up the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed, so the Chiefs are likely to deploy Oladokun as their backup QB behind Carson Wentz. Oladokun has yet to see action in an NFL game, and he's spent the last two yeas with Kansas City's practice squad. He probably won't see much, if any, action Sunday unless Wentz is forced to exit the contest.

Oladokun takes the practice squad spot left by Bailey Zappe, who signed with Cleveland on Tuesday. A 2022 seventh-round pick who is still looking for a chance to make his regular-season debut, Oladokun worked as the Chiefs' practice squad quarterback last season and is familiar with the system.

The Chiefs reverted Oladokun to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Oladokun was called up for the Chiefs' regular-season finale against the Chargers with Patrick Mahomes (ankle) sitting out for the contest. Oladokun served as the backup to Blaine Gabbert and the former didn't see the field.

The Chiefs elevated Oladokun to their active roster Saturday.

The South Dakota State product is joining the Chiefs' active roster to ensure depth at quarterback with Patrick Mahomes (ankle) likely missing the team's regular season finale. Oladokun has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's spent the entire year on Kansas City's practice squad and he's expected to backup Blaine Gabbert in Week 18.

Oladokun will sign with the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

Oladokun spend the 2022 season on Kansas City's practice squad, but he wasn't ultimately called up for in-game action. With longtime backup Chad Henne having announced his retirement, however, Oladokun could potentially have an opportunity to compete for an elevated role this offseason.

Oladokun was selected in the seventh-round of the 2022 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh, but he ended up being waived late August. Now, the former South Dakota State standout will get a chance to prove his talents in a developmental role with the Chiefs.

The Steelers released Oladokun on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Oladokun was selected in the seventh round of the 2022 draft, but evidently he didn't show his coaches enough to earn a roster spot ahead of the regular season. Pittsburgh is left with a competition between Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph at quarterback, while Oladokun will have to look for another opportunity elsewhere.

The Steelers selected Oladokun in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 241st overall.

The Steelers found their quarterback of the future in the first round with Kenny Pickett, but they're hoping to develop Oladokun -- who spent time at South Florida and Samford before settling in at South Dakota State as a sixth-year senior -- into a suitable backup. Oladokun maneuvers well in and out of the pocket, and he possesses a quick release that helps when he's throwing off base or in the face of pressure. He finished with 3,164 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions at SDSU, adding 73 carries for 166 yards and two scores on the ground. Oladokun will be 25 years old when the season starts and will likely battle Mason Rudolph for the No. 3 role behind Pickett and Mitch Trubisky.
