The Kansas City Chiefs have been making roster moves to get down to the 53 man limit.
The Kansas City Chiefs established their eight-man practice squad on Sunday just hours after the waiver wire ended.
The Chiefs added eight players to the practice squad:
If these players look familiar then it's because they are familiar. Every one of them participated in the Chiefs training camp. Walters, Gales, Greenwood, Harris, Price and Walters were all released from the Chiefs at this point last year. Many of them spent time on the practice squad last year as well.
The Kansas City Chiefs got down to 53 players on Saturday afternoon via the release of 13 players and the placement of two on injured reserve.
The Green Bay Packers did the same thing and among their releases was nose tackle Anthony Toribio. The Packers placed the 6-foot-1, 305-pound lineman on waivers and the Chiefs claimed him.
The Chiefs announced on Sunday they were awarded Toribio via the waiver claim.
To make room for him, they released WR Quinten Lawrence, the third 2009 draft pick to be released this weekend for the Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs released 13 players on Saturday evening.
The 13 released players are:
T/G Colin Brown, NT Garrett Brown, DE Dion Gales, RT Bobby Greenwood, G Darryl Harris, LB David Herron, NT Derek Lokey, S DaJuan Morgan, QB Tyler Palko, S Ricky Price, WR VerranTucker, LB Pierre Walters and RB Javarris Williams.
The Chiefs also placed Maurice Leggett and Jerheme Urban on IR ending their seasons.

There are only two slight surprises on that list: Ndukwe and Richardson.
Ndukwe was the second team guard and most figured he had a decent chance to make the roster. Richardson was on the team last year as a special teamer.
