The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs are acquiring three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Titans, replenishing a position group that has been ravaged by injuries, according to reports Wednesday.

The Chiefs are sending a conditional fifth-round pick to the Titans, who are taking on some of Hopkins’ salary.

The Chiefs lost receiver Marquise Brown, one of their top free-agent signings, to shoulder surgery prior to the start of the season. Second-year star Rashee Rice sustained a season-ending knee injury last month against the Chargers, and veteran JuJu Smith-Schuster is out after hurting his hamstring in last Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Hopkins, 32, only has 15 catches for 173 yards and a TD this season. But he’s a proven star — 943 catches for 12,528 yards and 79 TDs over a career spent mostly with the Cardinals and Texans.

Hopkins is also on an expiring contract, a plus for the cash-strapped Chiefs.

The Seahawks reportedly are acquiring Ernest Jones IV from the Titans in exchange for Jerome Baker and a 2025 fourth-round pick in a swap of inside LBs. This is the second time Jones, 24, has been traded this year. The Titans acquired him from the Rams in August. ... Jameis Winston will start at QB on Sunday when the injury-plagued Browns host the Ravens. QBs Deshaun Watson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson both suffered injuries in the Browns’ loss to the Bengals last weekend. Watson is done for the season, but Thompson-Robinson will practice this week.
