WR LANCE LONG JOINS CHIEFS
September 16th – 9:34 AM

Yesterday’s acquisition of WR Bobby Wade wasn’t the only move that the Chiefs made this week to bolster the potential of the club’s wide receiving core. This morning, the Chiefs agreed to terms with former Arizona Cardinals WR Lance Long. Long will join the team’s practice squad effective immediately.

Long spent his entire rookie season on the Cardinals practice squad under the offensive guidance of Chiefs head coach Todd Haley in 2008. Similar to Wade signing with the Chiefs active roster yesterday, Long brings a since of familiarity with him to Kansas City.

Long made his NFL debut on Sunday in Arizona’s season opener vs. San Francisco. He played on offense and special teams, but did not record any statistics. He was waived by Arizona on Monday.

Long originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent in 2008 with Arizona. The Mississippi State product played in 35 games (seven starts) for the Bulldogs after transferring from Toledo following his freshman season. He recorded 46 receptions for 321 yards (6.98 avg.) with a TD at MSU. He also contributed on special teams with one punt return for four yards and eight kickoff returns for 100 yards (12.5 avg.).

The team released WR Rodney Wright from the practice squad to complete the transaction.
