The Chiefs made a roster move on Tuesday morning.
They waived rookie free agent OL Andrew Lewis.
Lewis was signed as a rookie free agent this offseason. He spent some time on the third team at center.
Taking his spot is LB John Russell.
Russell was signed to the Packers as a rookie free agent this offseason. Here's a little more on Russell from the Chiefs release:

Russell (6-4, 280) originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Green Bay in 2010. He played in 51 games (29 starts) at Wake Forest, recording 137 tackles, 19.0 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, an INT, a pass defensed, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. Russell prepped at Bolles High School in Jacksonville, Florida, helping lead the team to a 14-0 record and the Florida 3A State Championship as a senior.

And the roster shuffle continues.

When I saw Russell I thought we finally signed Ja Marcuss. I was ecstatic. He's the shit.

He's not as big as JaMarcus.
