Here my final cut

Roster cut **
Practice squad *

Interesting note from Reid's press conference: Abdullah is the starting Nickle, not Robinson.

lol then what the **** is Dunta? 4th CB? 2nd Safety?


that's kind of really sad actually.

Good for us, though. Especially since secondary depth is what we need the most.

@caplannfl

Chiefs have been sniffing around for a veteran ILB. They're not looking to spend more than veteran minimum, if they do anything at all.

God ****ing damn ****a is already worthless.

Unless he's FS.

Then my opinion of the Walrus just went way up.

Oh Brandon LMAO

Brandon Flowers ‏@BFlowers24 34s
Bout to cut my hair on my own for the first time....this is about to be all bad

there was a tweet somewhere about Indy shopping ILB Kavell Conner

Moeaki cut.

Hartman played well for us last year. I'll be disappointed if he got cut. That said, I have watched zero preseason.

Updated.

Harris was cut.

I made it easy for you! Then you have to go and do it yourself!!:cuss::cuss:

LMAO

AND you still missed Zac Diles

Didn't Demitrius Harris get cut?

Yes and we have a LBer named Zac Diles on the roster

Cowboys acquired DE Edgar Jones from the Chiefs in exchange for undisclosed compensation.
It's likely for a conditional late-round pick. Jones offers nothing more than special teams experience. He played just 47 snaps on defense in 2012.

**** yeah! About time we start bending teams over for shit players.

Chiefs waived Powe

The Pioli purge has commenced.

I'm surprised Houston and Berry are still on the team.

TE Sean McGrath (6-5, 247) played in two games his rookie season with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012. He originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Seattle in 2012. He spent the majority of the 2012 season on the Seahawks practice squad roster. McGrath played collegiately at Henderson State (2010-11) and Eastern Illinois (2008) seeing action in 29 career games, tallying 89 catches for 1,018 yards (11.4 avg.) with seven touchdowns. He prepped at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, Ill.

Wow, wasn't expecting that.

Here is the Chiefs practice squad going into the season.

Toben Opurum - FB
Demetrius Harris - TE
Frankie Hammond Jr. - WR
Tommie Draheim - OL
Rokevious Watkins - OL
Matt Reynolds - T
Darin Drakeford - LB
Malcolm Bronson - S

Did mcDougald get picked up? I figured since he was last to go they'd want him on PS.

Damn, or WR's are S-C-A-R-Y BAD no matter who we add...Really jumps out at ya when you see it staring back at you in writing. YIKES!

disappointed by this, was cheering him on.

Updating now.

Are you adding the practice squad?

Updated.

Edit: And, yes.

Good. Frankie Hammond FTW.

Also, I may have missed a previous explanation on this, but what's with Opurum's name in bolded red?

I just think his name is incredible.

Quite true. I thought so too.

However, it hardly makes a dent in the glorious name that was given to the one and only....






























































D'Brickashaw Ferguson

Sounds like a name cut from the last Elder Scrolls release.

:LOL:

Jeeez, that tight end group looks a bit threadbare.

They cut Powe. Guess the Poe Powe D wasn't panning out.

Commings to IR, McDougald re-signed, OG Rishawn Johnson to the practice squad

http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article...2-2322c7722c1b

Updated.

For the record, we have nine on our practice squad? What?

We're only allowed to keep eight, right?

Right.

Although, they used to have an "international player" rule where you could add a 9th player if he was from overseas. Not sure if that's still a thing.

I don't know when the deadline to have eight locked in is, though. Due to the logistics of how it's put together, it's obviously got to be AFTER the deadline for the 53.

Chiefs rookie update: Defense

Nico Johnson Peter Aiken/Getty ImagesThe Chiefs' Nico Johnson was making a hefty impact before suffering an ankle injury.
Earlier I posted some thoughts on the progress of the Chiefs offensive rookies and where I thought they fit in as the regular season begins. Here, I talk about the five defensive rookies:


•Nico Johnson, fourth round, inside linebacker. Johnson was playing well and appeared on track to become a starter at some point this season. He showed some nice instinct and the ability to shed blocks and make tackles in the running game. Then he suffered a high ankle sprain. He hasn’t played or practiced since. His shouldn’t be an extended absence but any practice time missed by a rookie is a lot of time. At this point, it’s reasonable to count on Johnson for little more than special-teams help for the first half of the season. Longer term, he should have a spot as the starter at the inside position next to Derrick Johnson.



•Mike Catapano, defensive end, seventh round. Catapano was moved recently back to his more natural position as a defensive end. The Chiefs had played him at linebacker since drafting him.Catapano is undersized at 270 pounds so his main contributions as a rookie should come on special teams. But the Chiefs aren’t deep on the defensive line, so an injury could force him into the playing rotation. Catapano has showed some pass-rush skills. He was with the first team early this week as a pass-rusher in the nickel defense in place of Allen Bailey, who missed practice because of the death of his father.



•Bradley McDougald, safety, undrafted. McDougald won his roster spot, beating out veteran Tysyn Hartman, with solid all-around play. Hartman may have been better against the run but McDougald was better in pass coverage. As the fifth safety, he won’t play on defense except in case of injuries ahead of him.McDougald’s roster spot will be in jeopardy when the Chiefs activate Sanders Commings off injured reserve. A fifth-round draft pick, Commings was playing a lot in the nickel defense during offseason practice. He broke his collarbone in the first practice at training camp and hasn’t played or practiced since. He was placed on IR Tuesday.



•Josh Martin, undrafted, linebacker. Martin came to the Chiefs as the ultimate long shot. He played in college at an Ivy League school, Columbia, and plays a position inhabited in Kansas City by three Pro Bowl players. But Martin made an impact in training camp. He displayed nice instincts in the running game and pass-rush skills, as well. He showed enough of both the Chiefs decided to keep him on their active roster as a developmental player.Martin probably won’t play as a rookie unless it’s on special teams. But he’s already pulled the ultimate upset by making it this far.



•Marcus Cooper, cornerback, waivers from San Francisco. Cooper was drafted by the 49ers this year in the seventh round but was released over the weekend. Cooper was mostly a bystander during his only practice so far with the Chiefs after arriving on Sunday night. But he will get a look to be the fourth cornerback. The Chiefs went through several candidates unsuccessfully for that fourth cornerback spot and their failure to find one was a big reason they claimed Cooper.

So, by when does the practice squad need to be down to 8 players?

By Monday. I think R. Watkins suspension was only 1 week.

Kelce once healthy is gonna be a valuable weapon for Smith

Fasano disappointed me yesterday.

Promoted Catapano to 3rd DE.

Does this thread need to be stickied anymore?

I'm cool with it if it is. Just asking.

I think not... given that the season is here

Same here. A few of those dropped passes were pretty horrific.

I concur.

@RavensInsider: Chiefs cut Tommie Draheim from practice squad

Updated.

I'm starting to change my mind.

The Chiefs, like all teams, do a lot of shuffling throughout the year. Maybe it's not a bad idea to keep this stickied and updated?

Chiefs sign DT Jordan Miller to practice squad, release OL Matt Reynolds

OP is updated.

I got got nervous there for a second while reading that.

Anyone heard from Saccopoo? Suicide watch?

Injury report

Abdullah, Husain S Foot FP - - -
Asamoah, Jon OL Calf FP - - -

Good to see Jon Asamoah, and Nico Johnson practicing :clap:

I don't have enough privileges to post a thread yet, but did anyone else hear Bray is one of the player supposedly to have received benefits in college?

Chiefs worked out 7 players this week.

Guards: John Malecki and Lance Louis

Linebackers: D.J. Smith and Alonzo Highsmith

Defensive tackles: Marvin Austin, Christian Tupou and Jordan Miller

"It's going to be very exciting; we're at home for our very first game. Everything with a new coach and new players—I'm just hyped up, I'm excited. I wouldn't miss this game for anything."

~ Jamaal Charles

"We have the luxury of playing in Arrowhead, you know how Arrowhead is when it’s rocking and we’re playing good ball. In the first game, we are (going to be) playing good ball, so I can’t see why it’s not going to be rocking this week. I can’t wait for Sunday. Dallas is going to be in for a rude awakening with our crowd, so I can’t wait."

~Derrick Johnson

DJ rocks- my fav player!!

Chuefs players are pumped.

Updated, per DaFace's thread about adding Brock when MacDougald was cut.

Also, I've promoted Sean McGrath to 2nd string TE.

And probably like 10 of those teams to start 2-0 who missed the playoffs were Denver teams LMAO

TOBEN OPURUM has been released.

As the sky falls down.

Brad MacDougald is back.

Updated.

Team waives DL Jordan Miller, making room for Opurum


The Kansas City Chiefs signed fullback Toben Opurum to the team's practice squad and waived DL Jordan Miller, the team announced today.

The sky comes back up!

Updated.

Good for Opurum. He seems to be a good dude. He was on the KU football radio broadcast recently and he was really well spoken and said all the right things.

I'm really surprised they dumped someone on the PS for him given the way Sherman is playing. Not really sure he has a fit here but I'm glad he's got a spot.

Per league source, former Steelers RB Chris Rainey worked out on Monday for the Chiefs and ran the 40-yard dash in the low 4.3s.

Yes please

Chris Rainey works out for the Chiefs, runs in the low 4.3s

Posted by Mike Florio on September 23, 2013, 3:09 PM EDT
Chris Rainey
AP
The Steelers drafted running back Chris Rainey in 2012. After a couple of run-ins with the law, the Steelers cut him.

He has since been ignored by all other NFL teams.

On Monday, he wasn’t. Per multiple league sources, the Chiefs worked out Rainey on Monday. Though he ran the 40-yard dash in the low 4.3s, the Chiefs have decided that they currently don’t have a spot for him.

One source said that Rainey was timed on one stopwatch at 4.29 seconds.

Other teams now may consider kicking Rainey’s tires. The only problem is that, because Rainey was accused of assaulting his girlfriend, some may be reluctant to take a chance on him, given the potential P.R. challenges.

At 4.3 seconds, it’s probably worth at least testing it out with a focus group.

Why work him out if you aren't going to sign him even if he kills it?
