Chiefs roster cuts come and Tony Moeaki remains on the roster

The Kansas City Chiefs first round of cuts is in and TE Tony Moeaki remains on the roster. The Chiefs cut WR Jamar Newsome on Tuesday morning, the 15th cut in the last two days. Find the rest of the Chiefs roster cuts here. The Chiefs are now at 75 players on the roster, which they had to be at by Tuesday's 3 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) deadline.

So what does it mean that Moeaki is on the roster?

Nothing, definitively. We still don't know the status of his injury.

The same options for Moeaki remain, depending on the severity of his shoulder fracture:

Predicting the Chiefs 53-man roster

Who makes the 53-man roster? Nick Jacobs prediction can be found at the link above.

• Do nothing, keep him on the roster, and wait for him to return
• Place him on IR and end his season
• Place him on IR "designated to return", meaning he can come back in eight weeks.
• Negotiate an injury settlement and part ways

Today's roster cuts just mean Moeaki remains on the roster, but there's one giant hurdle to come: The cut down to 53 players, the deadline for which is on Saturday, August 31, at 5 p.m. (Arrowhead Time).
