Reports from ESPN indicate that Morris and Godrick were apprehended on Thursday evening in Johnson County, Kansas. The charges brought against them involve misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Following their arrest, both individuals managed to post a $2,500 bond, leading to their release from custody.
The Chiefs organization has acknowledged the situation, confirming their awareness of the players’ arrests. However, they have refrained from making any additional comments at this time.
In terms of their contributions to the team, Morris, who was selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, appeared in 14 games during the previous season and was a starter in four of those contests. He is poised to battle for the position of starting left tackle in the forthcoming season, competing against Kingsley Suamataia, a second-round pick of this year’s draft. Godrick, on the other hand, joined the Chiefs through the NFL’s international pathway program and spent the entirety of the 2023 season on the team’s practice squad.
The Kansas City Chiefs and their fans await further developments regarding the legal issues facing Morris and Godrick as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
