The Chiefs cut will their roster from 90 to 75 players by next Tuesday, and then down to 53 players that weekend.
Neither are a huge surprise although at some point in their journey as Chiefs you could’ve talked me into them making the team. Williams’ training camp was up and down. His highs were very high as he made some great catches. Unfortunately he dropped some too. It’s hard to be inconsistent in Andy Reid’s offense.
Brown is a slight surprise right now. I thought when he was signed earlier this year he could’ve been that third safety that the Chiefs lost when Husain Abdullah retired and Tyvon Branch signed with the Cardinals. With Eric Berry out, it’s been Daniel Sorensen and Eric Murray seeing more safety snaps.
