KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs offensive linemen Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick were arrested Thursday night in Johnson County, Kansas, on misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Both were booked into jail and released Friday after posting $2,500 bond.

The Chiefs said they were aware of the arrests but had no further comment.

Morris was the Chiefs’ third-round draft pick in 2023. He started four games at left tackle as a rookie in place of the injured Donovan Smith. The Chiefs have said Morris would compete for the starting left tackle spot this season with rookie Kingsley Suamataia, a second-round draft pick.

Godrick joined the Chiefs last season as their designated international pathway player. He spent all season on the practice squad.

Another Chiefs player, wide receiver Rashee Rice, was arrested in Dallas in March for his involvement in a six-car crash that injured at least seven people. Police say Rice was driving 119 mph on a freeway before causing the crash. Rice is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.

Rice is also a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man in a Dallas nightclub.
