Prince signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Prince will return to Kansas City where he spent time on the practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent last may. The 23-year-old played in two games but failed to record any stats and will look to secure a roster spot heading into the 2024 campaign.

Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Prince played 10 snaps on special teams, failing to record a stat in the team's 27-17 win over the Patriots. If Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) is unavailable in Week 16, Prince could be elevated again ahead of Kansas City's matchup with the Raiders.

Prince was elevated from the practice squad by the Chiefs on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The running back was reverted to the practice squad Monday after playing no offensive snaps in Kansas City's Week 14 loss to Buffalo despite the absence of lead running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder). Prince will get another chance to break into the backfield rotation of Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon on Sunday against the Patriots.

Prince reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the absence of Isiah Pacheco (shoulder), Prince was unable to crack the backfield rotation of Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon. Prince played just five snaps on special teams and none on offense. He'll wait for another opportunity to be called up, which could happen Week 15 against the Patriots if Pacheco sits out for a second straight game.

Prince was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be interesting to see how the Chiefs will utilize Prince, especially in the absence of Isiah Pacheco (shoulder). Head coach Andy Reid stated Clyde Edwards-Helaire would be the team's de-facto starter and it's widely expected Jerick McKinnon will likely see a significant snap share as the team's pass-catching back, but it's possible the rookie Prince could whittle away at the former's opportunities, especially in obvious running situations.

Prince reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Prince was active for Sunday's loss to the Packers as Jerick McKinnon (groin) was out but didn't see any playing time. The rookie undrafted free agent will now wait for another opportunity to be called up for action.

The Chiefs elevated Prince to their active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie running back's elevation likely comes in response to Jerick McKinnon (groin) being ruled out for Sunday night's affair. Prince has yet to appear in an NFL game, but he's been with Kansas City's practice squad since the end of August. He'll more than likely back up Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the Chiefs' Week 13 outing.

Prince was picked up by the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire ahead of him on the depth chart, Prince was always considered to be a long shot in terms of making it through final cuts. However, he will now get to remain in Kansas City and continue practicing with the team while he awaits the possibility of being called up should the depth ahead of him require it.

The Chiefs waived Prince on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Prince being among the players waived or released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are the three running backs remaining on the team's 53-man roster. That said, Prince could be added to Kansas City's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Prince rushed four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-24 preseason loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Prince entered at tailback after Clyde Edwards-Helaire played Kansas City's first two drives, totaling 22 yards on five touches. After Prince was sidelined, La'Mical Perine handled most of the Chiefs' rushing duties, gaining 24 yards on six carries. With Isiah Pacheco (hand/shoulder), Jerick McKinnon and Edwards-Helaire in tow, Prince's best path to the 53-man roster might be on special teams, but Sunday he gained only 36 yards on his two kickoff returns.
