He's a backup to Damien Williams at least for now but running back Carlos Hyde has stayed busy at Chiefs mini-camp. Hyde, who signed with the Chiefs as a free agent this year, has occasionally played in the lineup with Williams and frequently has been used as a receiver out of the backfield. "For a running back like me who likes to catch the ball . . . it would be like a dream come true," Hyde said. "It's not just a one-dimensional running back here. You do it all. You line up at receiver. You actually run routes. You're not just a decoy . . . You really get to showcase your ability. I didn't know they used the running back so much in the passing game until I got here. It put a smile on my face." Hyde came to the Chiefs looking to revive his career after diminished production last year with the Browns and Jaguars. "I had other teams I could have looked into," Hyde said. "I've just seen what previous running backs and what success they had in Kansas City with coach (Andy) Reid. I felt like this is a good place for a running back to get on the right track."
