Chiefs Elevate WR Hidden Gem to Active Roster After Raiders Offer to Steal Him

The Kansas City Chiefs have taken a decisive roster move, elevating wide receiver Jimmy Holiday to the active roster after the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly offered to sign him from Kansas City’s practice squad. The move ensures Holiday remains in Kansas City and highlights the organization’s resolve to retain a rising talent.

Sources indicate that the Raiders expressed interest in Holiday following the season‐ending ACL injury suffered by their receiver Jakobi, which left them needing reinforcements at wideout. Holiday was seen as a potential quick addition that could help fill the void. But the Chiefs acted first.

Holiday, an undrafted speedster, has steadily made a name for himself through hard work, special teams contributions, and route precision. Despite flying under the radar, his burst, hands, and ability to stretch coverage made him a target when the Giants searched for receiver depth.

 At the college level, Holiday was a highlight machine. At Western Kentucky, he recorded over 2,300 all-purpose yards across four seasons, including multiple kick return touchdowns that showcased his game-breaking speed. Coaches and scouts repeatedly praised his acceleration, calling him “a threat to score every time he touched the ball.” Those flashes of brilliance are exactly what Kansas City now hopes to unlock at the pro level.

By moving Holiday onto the 53-man roster, Kansas City has blocked any opportunity for rival poaching and sent a message: we protect what we believe in. “We’ve watched Jimmy grow every single day,” said one Chiefs insider. “When a team comes calling, it only reinforces that we made the right choice.”

For the Chiefs, the promotion is more than defensive roster management — it’s an affirmation of Holiday’s potential. For Holiday, it’s a chance to prove that his persistence, patience, and performance have earned him a place.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
