McQuay signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Friday, according to the league's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay didn't appear in any regular-season games for Kansas City in 2018, but he did spend time on the team's practice squad. He'll now get an offseason to carve out a role in the secondary that has defensive backs Ron Parker, Steven Nelson and Orlando Scandrick set to become unrestricted free agents.

McQuay was promoted to the Chiefs' 53-man roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay failed to make the Chiefs' final roster prior to the season kicking off and reverted to their practice squad. His addition to the active roster is likely due to starting strong safety Eric Berry (heel) being doubtful for Week 6, and backup Eric Murray (lower leg) being ruled out. McQuay will presumably back up Josh Shaw heading into Sunday night's game against the Patriots.

McQuay (hamstring) returned to practice Monday, Brooke Pryor of the Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay has been sidelined since Saturday due to a minor hamstring injury, but he's back in full pads Monday as the issue didn't keep him out for long. With fellow free safety Daniel Sorensen (knee) out for at least the next six weeks, McQuay could find a role with the first-team defense if he's able to remain healthy.

McQuay was sidelined for Saturday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Brooke Pryor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay was signed to the active roster from the practice squad in December of last season to give the Chiefs some added depth in the secondary. If the injury is somewhat serious, it could impact his chances of making the team's final roster this season.

The Chiefs signed McQuay to the 53-man roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay was selected by the Chiefs in the sixth round of this year's draft but has spent the entire season on the practice squad. He'll provide Kansas City with depth in the secondary after Steven Terrell (undislosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

McQuay (neck) has returned to practice with the team at training camp, David Eulitt of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay suffered the neck injury earlier in camp, but his pass breakup during practice proves he's returned to the gridiron. The rookie sixth-round pick out of USC needs plenty of reps in training camp to prove he's worthy of a 53-man roster spot and he'll rejoin the competition in Kansas City's secondary now that he's healthy.

McQuay injured his neck Saturday, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of McQuay's injury aren't clear. However, neck injuries, like all head injuries, are a big deal in today's culture and the 2017 sixth-rounder will likely be kept under wraps until he's completely good to go.

The Chiefs selected McQuay in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 218th overall.
EDGE Analysis
McQuay is a corner-safety tweener who generally looks more like the latter for the Chiefs. He finished his senior year with 52 tackles and two interceptions on one of the country's better defenses.
