Chiefs' Peyton Hendershot: Traded to KC
The Cowboys are trading Hendershot to the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
It was previously reported that Dallas was waiving the tight end, but the Chiefs apparently were interested and made a small offer to ensure he wouldn't land with a team that had higher waiver priority. Hendershot now slots in at the bottom of Kansas City's depth chart, potentially competing with rookie Jared Wiley for the No. 3 TE role.

Cowboys' Peyton Hendershot: Suits up for preseason finale
Hendershot caught his only target for a 10-yard gain in Saturday's 26-19 preseason loss to the Chargers.
The third-year tight end has been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of training camp, but Hendershot was able to play in the Cowboys' preseason finale and haul in his lone pass late in the first quarter. With Jake Ferguson and 2023 second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker locked in atop the tight end depth chart, Hendershot is in a fierce battle with John Stephens, Brevyn Spann-Ford and others for one of the team's final roster spots.

Hendershot was forced to sit out the team's "mock game" at practice as the Cowboys gear up for their first preseason contest Sunday on the road versus the Rams. The tight end will look to get back on the practice field as soon as possible, though he may not be able to go Sunday depending on the severity of his shoulder issue.

Cowboys' Peyton Hendershot: Tough sophomore campaign
Hendershot (foot) caught four of seven targets for 38 yards in eight regular-season games in 2023.
The second-year tight end had trouble staying healthy, and Hendershot's usage as a receiver declined even when he was in the lineup as Jake Ferguson had a breakout season. With Luke Schoonmaker likely to take on a bigger role in 2024 as well, there don't figure to be many snaps or targets left over for Hendershot next season.

Cowboys' Peyton Hendershot: Returns to 53-man roster
Hendershot (ankle) rejoined the active roster Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Hendershot was designated to return from IR on Nov. 15, so his 21-day window to practice with the team was up. If he wasn't placed back on the 53-man roster Wednesday, he would have been forced back on injured reserve and missed the remainder of the season. However, the Indiana product has been logging full practices the last three weeks and should be good to go Sunday against the Eagles.
