(AP) - The Kansas City Chiefs released veteran defensive end Taco Charlton, offensive lineman Bryan Witzmann and defensive back Will Parks on Monday as they made the next round of roster cuts ahead of their preseason finale.
The Chiefs also waived linebacker Riley Cole and quarterback Anthony Gordon.
On the injury front, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill practiced Monday after missing last weekend’s preseason game in Arizona with a tight hamstring.
Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who sprained his ankle early in the game, was still trying to get the soreness out of it after a walkthrough Monday morning and could miss practice time this week.
Edwards-Helaire participated in stretching and individual doors before walking off the practice field, according to multiple reports.
Elsewhere, defensive end Chris Jones is ill (not COVID), while RB Darrel Williams and guard Yasir Durant are in concussion protocol. Defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) and tackle Laurent Duvarney-Tardif (hand) are improving, according to Coach Reid.
Tackle Austin Blythe, meanwhile, had surgery on a sports hernia and is "doing well," according to the head coach.
The Chiefs conclude their preseason schedule with a home game against Minnesota on Friday evening at 7 p.m.
The team will also release its 53-man roster next Tuesday - the final round of roster moves before the regular season starts.
