NFL Roster Cuts: Practice Squad Comes Next For The Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs now have 53 players on their roster having released 13 on Saturday night. The next move for the Chiefs will be creating a practice squad.
All these players who were released that are practice squad-eligible (click here to see the rules on who's eligible) will be subject to waivers. That ends at 11:00 a.m. (Arrowhead time) and teams can begin signing players to the eight-man practice squad. These are generally made up of rookie free agents and other fringe NFL players.
Last year the Chiefs established their practice squad on the evening of the first signing day so if history repeats itself the announcement will come tonight.
Last year's first practice squad consisted solely of players who had been in the previous training camp so keep that in mind moving forward. The practice squad guys will likely be made up of the group that just went to camp with the Chiefs. They know the most about them so it makes sense.
There are already rumors picking up out there of players soon being added to the practice squad.

I'm guessing you mean "begin signing players" not plays.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...
So
Currently, all of the players released are free agents? But, as soon as teams name some of them to practice squads, those guys go through waivers? So, do all the teams have to wait until after the PS naming to approach all the released players?
Chiefs WILL!
my guess
G Brown, D Brown, Banks, Lokey(if eligible), Gunnell, Williams, a QB to be named, Harris (if healthy)
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?

Lokey Not eligible
unless we have 53 people on our active/inactive list during the entire period of his employment.
Interpret that for me. To me, it means if he’s on our practice squad our ability to make moves is lessened. I’m not sure by how much
It is pretty difficult to translate...
Have been on the practice squad with a particular team no more than 2 prior seasons unless the team never had their active roster go below 53 players during the two years the player served on the practice squad. If that is the case, the player is eligible for a third practice squad season.
I believe that our roster has never gone below 53 players over the past 2 year. That would make him eligible.
Go Chiefs!!!!
not sure if williams is eligible...I HOPE he is

So how long till we can grab Chase Coffman and AQ Quigly?
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
Don't tell the MU guy I was talking with yesterday, but Coffman's allergic to blocking. Oy.
Unless that’s what his time on the PS would be for. I’d be more inclined to see us bring back the TE we cut earlier this week.
By Quigly I bet you meant Shipley, the center…I would like to see that move. He’d be a good understudy for Weigmann.

Shipley is correct... brain fart.
Coffman could be great in a “Dallas Clark” type role but you’re right, he doesn’t seem to be a very good bocker.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
I know, I know...
I just think he would be a good youngster to groom.

How many guys can we have on IR?
And do they count against our Practice Squad (or 53 man roster)?

No limit to IR
and no, players that are on IR do not count against the active roster.

Anyone want to look over the list of cuts, confirm who is or is not eligible?

"One of the teams asked me a running back question," McCluster said. "They said when you have the ball, do you focus on the guy who's in front of you or the next guy.
"I told them 99% of the time, I'm going to make that first guy miss. Then, I'm onto the next."

Based on game apperances
I don’t think Gales, Lokey, or Williams are eligible. I may be wrong though.
I am bummed about Gales too.
