The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing a trade for Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, ESPN reported.

Hopkins will help bolster a receiving corps that lost Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and JuJu Schuster to injuries.

The Chiefs are expected to send a fifth-round pick that can become a fourth-rounder for the Titans in exchange for Hopkins.

Hopkins has 15 catches for 173 yards this season for a Titans team that won just one game and has struggled at quarterback. Hopkins suffered a knee injury in training camp that did not require surgery. Last season with Tennessee, he had 75 catches for 1,057 yards.

Hopkins is the third prominent receiver to be traded in the last eight days. Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders sent Davante Adams to the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. The Los Angeles Rams have also held trade talks with teams owned by former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champions, the Chiefs, have the best record in the NFL at 6-0, but were looking for a receiver to backup quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Brown is not expected to play in the regular season because he underwent shoulder surgery last month for an injury he suffered in the preseason. Rice is also not expected to play the remainder of the season as he underwent surgery two weeks ago to repair the posterolateral corner of his right knee. He was injured in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Schuster missed Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers with a hamstring injury.
