Chiefs promote DT Stephen Williams to 53-man roster

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Tuesday that the club has agreed to terms of a three-year contract with DT Stephen Williams. The Chiefs also added DE Montez Murphy to the club’s practice squad. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available.

Williams (6-2, 306) originally joined the Chiefs as a rookie free agent this season and has appeared in seven games in 2006. He owns five tackles (four solo) and on fumble recovery. Williams has spent four weeks on the team’s practice squad this season.

The Oak Park, Ill. native appeared in 17 games in two seasons (2004-05) at Northwest Missouri State, recording 83 tackles (42 solo), 10.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks (-9.0 yards), an interception and two passes defensed. He tallied 31 tackles (23 solo), 3.0 stops for loss, 1.5 sacks (-4.0 yards), three fumble recoveries and a forced fumble as a senior for the Bearcats. The Bolingbrook High School (Ill.) alum also spent two seasons (2000-01) at Indiana, appearing in 21 contests, amassing 31 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss and a sack for the Hoosiers.

Murphy (6-5, 256) was originally added to the club’s practice squad on September 20th where he spent seven weeks, before being added to the 53-man roster on November 18th. He appeared in one game and was inactive for one contest. Murphy originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Green Bay in 2006 and attended training camp with the Packers. He started all 19 games he appeared in during his two-year collegiate career at Baylor. Murphy recorded 72 tackles (46 solo) with 14.5 behind the line, 5.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and three passes defensed.

The Meridian, Mississippi native was a two-sport athlete at East St. Louis High School in East St. Louis, Ill. Murphy led the football team to a 7-3 record as a two-way lineman his senior campaign. He also played center on the school’s basketball team.

Shouldn't have been deactivated in the first place, IMO.

hell he should start..when he was in he was always in the backfield or stuffing the run...give him a few more opportunities..

Print 'em

I never get tired of this joke. LMAO

I agree. If there was somebody to be deactivated in the first place, there is Hicks and Sims.

Yeah, Herm sounded pretty high on him earlier in the season. I was surprised when he got sent to the practice squad.

say good bye Sims. :thumb:

Good riddance.

Go Bearcats!

Unfortunately, no. This is just because James Reed got hurt.

true....but when Reed comes back, bye bye Sims

Won't happen. There's no good reason to cut Sims at this juncture. In fact, they demoted Steve Williams to the practice squad a week or two ago because Wilkerson was getting more snaps at DT.

Maybe next year.

Definitely next year. Sims days are numbered.

Should be a good move.
