Chiefs Annouce Roster Moves

Posted 3 minutes ago


The Kansas City Chiefs announced roster moves on Tuesday, including the signing of defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe will return to the 53-man roster from reserve/suspension and the team has elevated linebacker Jerry Franklin to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. The Chiefs have placed linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive end Mike DeVito on injured reserve. The club has waived defensive back Daniel Sorensen.

Vickerson (6-5, 328) has played in 71 games (43 starts) in seven NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos (2010-13) and Tennessee Titans (2007-09). His career numbers include 153 tackles (111 solo), 6.5 sacks (-31.5 yards), 17 tackles for loss, 21 pressures and two forced fumbles. He owns one fumble recovery and one interception. Vickerson originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft selection (216th overall) of the Miami Dolphins in the 2005 NFL Draft. In his first season with the Dolphins he was placed on injured reserve and in 2006 was inactive for all 16 games. He played collegiately at Michigan State and prepped at Martin Luther King High School in Detroit, Michigan.

Additionally, the team announced several practice squad transactions. The Chiefs have waived fullback Jordan Campbell, center Ben Gottschalk, defensive tackle Hebron Fangupo and wide receiver Darryl Surgent. Kansas City has signed wide receiver Armon Binns, tackle Curtis Feigt, tight end Adam Schiltz, cornerback Robert Steeples and defensive tackle Jerel Worthy to the practice squad.

Holy shit....Jerel Worthy was signed to the PS? He's fallen far.

Good. **** Sorensen.

Someone check on Sac.

I am curious why they made alot of changes to the practice squad after just one week?

Still no pulse since the release of Dressler on the first cuts.

This FO showing their displeasure of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints yet again with the Sorenson move. As if avoiding Star Loutulelei in last year's draft like the plague was enough evidence.

Well after this....it's time to take him off life support.

... the Head Coach and starting QB are Mormon...

Oh shit CP about to go crazy because Daniel Sorensen is gone. I guess jumping offsides was what did it.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Easier to do when you're already under water.

ROFL

Smith isn't a Mormon. He grew up in the Church but became inactive in school. Andy Reid is a Mormon, but has apparently been told by the Hunt family that if he is caught taking sacrament on the sidelines, he will be replaced.

Pretty sure Alex isn't Mormon. He went to Utah, not BYU, and he's never come out and said he's Mormon, afaik.
