The Kansas City Chiefs are acquiring three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional fourth-round draft pick, multiple outlets reported Wednesday morning.
The trade is expected to be completed later on Wednesday, per ESPN.
The Chiefs have endured several significant injuries at the position this season.
Offseason acquisition Marquise “Hollywood” Brown sustained a season-ending shoulder injury in the preseason. Rashee Rice’s season came to an abrupt end due to a right knee injury in Week 4, and JuJu Smith-Schuster aggravated a hamstring injury in Kansas City’s 28-18 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Smith-Schuster already has been ruled out for the Chiefs (6-0) ahead of this Sunday’s game against the host Las Vegas Raiders (2-5).
Hopkins, 32, has 15 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in six games (three starts) this season.
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Hopkins led the Titans in catches (75), receiving yards (1,057) and receiving touchdowns (seven) in 17 games (16 starts) last season.
Hopkins has 943 career receptions for 12,528 yards and 79 touchdowns in 168 games (164 starts) for the Houston Texans (2013-19), Arizona Cardinals (2020-22) and Titans.
The Texans selected him 27th overall in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Clemson.
