Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips was signed to the active roster following defensive tackle Ed Oliver being placed on injured reserve.
Stepping up from the practice squad, Phillips said his focus is continuing to work hard and stay on top of his responsibilities and stay prepared. Even with highly-anticipated game against Kansas City ahead of him for his first game since joining the active roster, he's controlling his mindset and not over-inflating anticipation of his opponent.
"When you have all that energy built up all week, it's normally not good," Phillips said on Wednesday. "So, you just got to go in with the thinking that it's just a normal game."
Safety Jordan Hancock and cornerback Maxwell Hairston reflected on their first game together after practice as well.
"It was great," Hancock said of playing with Hairston against Carolina. "He was my roommate, so we were talking about the game, watching film on the game so we could be prepared on Sunday. So, it was a really good transition, easy transition."
Having that in-game experience under his belt, Hairston said he's excited for the matchup against fellow speedster Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
"I'm looking forward to guarding all the receivers and all this competition, and that's what I like," Hairston said. "So, I'm just excited to play in my second game … play with the guys again, go out there, play fast \[and\] play physically."
